Try Half...

Jarlsberg, Apple, and Mushroom Salad

1 pound mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced
1 medium Golden delicious apple, cored and cut in thin slices
3 TBSP lemon juice, used to sprinkle on the above items

Dressing:
2 TBSP red wine vinegar
2 TBSP Meaux mustard (chunky brown)
8 TBSP walnut oil
2 TBSP freshly chopped parsley
Pinch of curry

4 oz Jarlsberg Cheese (or any soft, sweet, nutty cheese such as swiss), cut into strips 1 inch long and 1/8 inch thick
1 large head of lettuce
Add the mushroom and apple mixture to the dressing.  Toss gently with the lettuce and serve!


L'art de vivre - the art of living, to the French,  is pacing yourself in the long run.
In reading about the French way of eating, it seems that French women love to eat delicious, fatty, delectable foods.  BUT, they eat small portions. I would make the suggestion that the next time you eat out, try splitting a dinner.  If eating in, try either taking only half of what you normally would, or eating only half of what is on your plate.   Eat slowly, enjoy every bite, then eat half of the half that is left.
