FANTASTIC GREEN SALAD
Method
- To make the salad, get yourself a round lettuce, iceberg, buttercup, gem etc and remove each leaf from the core
- Wash them in plenty of cold water
- Spin dry or blot with paper towels and pile them into a bowl along with your selection of fresh herbs
- Make a basic dressing by mixing together 3 parts extra-virgin olive oil, 1 part lemon juice, a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Drizzle the dressing over the leaves and use the tips of your fingers to gently mix the salad together
- Be careful not to overdress it, though, or your leaves will go limp! Done as easy as that! Serve immediately
