Next to onions use two lettuces, a cup full of raspberries, fresh leaves of basil witch you can find in markets or hypermarkets, olive oil, balsamic oil, salt and pine gemmates. You will wash the lettuces well, undo leaves and break them in big pieces (do not cut them because they will lose their aroma). The onion is cut into small pieces, the raspberries are left intact. Place in a big salad bowl alternative layers of lettuce, onion and raspberries. Mix the crushed basil leaves with the Pine seeds the salt and the pepper then add the olive oil and the balsamic vinegar, in such a way that a sauce can be formed, that will get poured on top of the salad.
