Method

Dressing

In a jar, combine all the dressing ingredients. Shake the jar vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined.

Salad

In a large serving bowl, combine the mixed lettuce leaves and the fresh herbs of your choice. Just before serving, pour the prepared dressing over the mixed leaves and herbs. Toss the salad gently to ensure an even coating of the dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Note

The dressing can be prepared 1-2 days in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to use.
Leftover dressing will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days.
It’s crucial to dress this salad immediately before serving, as it can become soggy quite quickly. Alternatively, you could serve the dressing on the side, allowing people to add their own dressing as they serve themselves.
