Indian Herb Salad 2

Ingredients

• 150 gmixed greens
• 60 mlolive oil
• lemonjuiced
• herbs — chopped
• to tastefine sea salt

Method

1. Start by washing 150 g of mixed greens thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Shake off excess water and pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel. This ensures the greens remain crisp and fresh.
2. Gather your herbs, such as cilantro, mint, and dill, and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry and roughly chop them. The combination of herbs will add a fresh and aromatic flavor to the salad.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared mixed greens and chopped herbs. This bowl should be large enough to allow for gentle tossing without spilling.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together 60 ml of olive oil and the juice of one lemon. Add fine sea salt to taste, starting with a small pinch and adjusting as needed. The lemon juice provides acidity that balances the richness of the olive oil.
5. Pour the dressing over the greens and herbs in the mixing bowl. Use your hands or salad tongs to toss the salad gently, ensuring each leaf is lightly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to bruise the greens; they should remain vibrant and crisp.
6. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference. The flavors should be balanced, with the lemon's acidity complementing the olive oil's richness.
7. Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates. Serve immediately with fresh bread on the side, allowing the salad's freshness and the herbs' aroma to shine. This dish is best enjoyed as soon as it's prepared to maintain its crisp texture.
