With lasagne which is heavier i'd keep the salad fresh and simple. Either baby spinach leaves or lettuce with few manderin segments, red onion, slivered almonds for crunch and good vinegarette with lemon juice tossed through. ORtorn lettuce,cubes of tart green apple, with a mustard vinegarette, made just before serving.

i just use 3-4 tblsp olive oil, good splash of white balsamic vinegar, 1/2-1 tsp ready mixed hot english mustard ( dijon will do if u have that, ) s/gr bl pepper, gd 1/2 teasp sugar, whisk it all till combined. Increase quantities for larger lots, and have dressing made up before cubing apples tip it over apples toss well to stop going brown, then toss all through the lettuce leaves.

We made the annabelle langbein salad recipe for christmas. 6 cups salad greens, crumble over a block of blue vein cheese. Put some walnuts in the oven to roast. When cool toss thru the salad. Make up a mustard vineagrette dressing to drizzle over it. It was really yummy

The asparagus season has begun.With something as heavy as lasagne I'd serve a salad of blanched asparagus dressed with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, maybe some shaved Parmesan or some toasted hazelnuts.

I like a plain lettuce salad with vinaigrette to go with lasagne.Lasagne can be quite filling.

Also instead of garlic bread why don't you try those rolls that you heat up for about 5 minutes. They are a bit lighter in texture and people can add their own butter and garlic. Just a thought.

I'd use a packet of brocoslaw which is coleslaw made with brocolli, its cruchiness would go well with lasagna, I'd mix it withwholefoods mayo and lots of fresh herbs if you have them in the garden
