Notes & Inspiration
Finely the chop the iceberg — the lighter and crisper the cut, the better the salad absorbs the lemony dressing.
Verjuice adds softness without sharp acidity of apple cider vinegar; if unavailable, a splash of white balsamic or rice vinegar works beautifully
For extra creaminess without heaviness, mash a little avocado into the dressing before tossing.
A light crumble of feta adds savoury depth, but the salad is equally beautiful dairy-free.
Pair with proteins of your choice — fish, prawns, chicken, tuna or white beans let the salad shine.
