Wash and thoroughly dry the lettuce, arugula and dill, then tear or cut them into bite-size pieces. Toss with lemon juice, olive oil and salt just before serving so the leaves stay crisp rather than turning limp.
A simple lemon-and-olive-oil dressing works especially well with lettuce, arugula and dill salad. The lemon brightens the greens, while a little salt balances the arugula’s peppery edge. Add the dressing gradually to avoid weighing down the leaves.
Cucumber, tomato and thinly sliced red onion are easy additions to lettuce, arugula and dill salad. Chickpeas or crumbled feta can make it more substantial, while sumac adds a tangy note; add extras in moderation so the fresh herbs remain noticeable.
Lettuce, arugula and dill salad pairs well with grilled fish, chicken or meat, and it also provides freshness alongside bean or grain dishes. For a lighter meal, serve it with bread and a protein-rich topping rather than relying on the greens alone.
Yes. Wash and dry the greens, then refrigerate them in a covered container without dressing. Add lemon, oil and salt just before serving; dressing the salad ahead makes the leaves wilt and can leave liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
Dry the leaves thoroughly after washing and keep them chilled in a covered container. A clean paper towel can absorb excess moisture. Wait to add salt and dressing until serving, since both draw moisture from the lettuce, arugula and dill.
Separate the leaves and rinse them well under cool running water, paying attention to dirt caught in the arugula and dill. Dry everything thoroughly with a salad spinner or clean towel; wet leaves dilute the dressing and make the salad soggy.
Use more lettuce and less arugula, then balance the peppery greens with lemon juice or ripe tomato. A small amount of olive oil also rounds out the flavor. Taste as you go, since the strength of arugula can vary.
Yes, lettuce, arugula and dill salad can be served at breakfast alongside eggs, cheese or toast. Keep the dressing light and add it just before eating, so the greens stay crisp and their fresh flavor complements rather than overwhelms the other foods.
Yes, lettuce, arugula and dill salad is a low-calorie way to include leafy greens and provides vitamin K and folate. It can contribute to a balanced meal, but pairing it with a source of protein and other substantial foods makes the meal more filling.
