# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • The fresh mint and dill combo wakes up everything it touches
  • It comes together in ten minutes flat
  • The dressing doubles beautifully for other salads
02 -
  • Wet lettuce makes for sad diluted dressing so dry it like you mean it
  • The herbs need to be fresh, dried ones will not work here at all
  • Let the salad sit for just a minute after tossing for the flavors to settle
03 -
  • Toast a handful of pine nuts and scatter them on top for added texture
  • A splash of red wine vinegar adds depth that pure lemon misses
