# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 10 minutes but tastes like something from a professional kitchen
  • The fresh mint and dill combination creates an unmistakably Greek flavor profile that wakes up your palate
  • Perfect for hot summer days when you want something refreshing but satisfying
02 -
  • Dry your lettuce completely before dressing it, otherwise the dressing won't coat properly
  • Let the dressed salad sit for about 5 minutes before serving, the flavors need time to meld
  • This salad is best enjoyed immediately, it doesn't keep well once dressed
03 -
  • Use a very sharp knife to shred the lettuce, dull leaves will bruise the leaves and make them look sad
  • Let your salad sit for 5 minutes after tossing to allow the dressing to soften the lettuce slightly
  • Taste a piece of lettuce after dressing to check seasoning before adding more salt
