DELICIOUS AND DIFFERENT SALAD WITH LEMON-MINT DRESSING



Delicious and Different Salad with Lemon-Mint Dressing image

Since I needed a recipe with oil as a substantial ingredient, I automatically thought of dressing. Going with my sister Itty's novel idea of lemon-mint flavoring, we played around with this dressing and salad until we were perfectly satisfied with the results. Since this was a competition, the recipe had to be absolutely delicious, and I must say that there was no salad left to serve at the seudah! We tweaked and tasted (and tasted and tasted...) until it was gone! A fantastic combination - give it a try. READ MORE

SPINACH SALAD WITH LEMON AND MINT



Spinach Salad With Lemon and Mint image

This salad is a snip, but then one would hardly expect a salad to cause trouble. Using a lemon rather than just lemon juice as an ingredient makes for the most fabulous salad regardless of leaves. And by all means, serve it as a starter rather than a follow-up on the main course. It is fresh, sharp, vegan and delicious.

1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, sliced
1 cup sliced celery

Tips:

  • For a flavourful salad, choose fresh, crisp mixed greens. Arugula, spinach, kale, watercress, and romaine lettuce are all great choices.
  • To add sweetness to the salad, use fruits that are in season, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or oranges.
  • For a crunchy texture, add nuts or seeds to the salad. Walnuts, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds are all good options.
  • To add a salty and tangy flavor, use crumbled feta cheese, goat cheese, or blue cheese.
  • For a homemade lemon-mint dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add fresh mint for extra flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing it, to prevent the greens from wilting.
