The combination of crisp lettuce, zesty lemon, and aromatic mint creates a delightful blend of flavors.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing the Iceberg lettuce thoroughly under cold running water. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Shred the lettuce into thin strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Rinse and pat dry the scallions and celery.
- Thinly slice the scallions (both white and green parts) and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
- Thinly slice the celery stalk and add it to the bowl as well.
- Wash the fresh spearmint leaves, pat them dry, and then chop them finely. Add the chopped mint to the bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the lemon zest, olive oil, and sugar. Whisk together until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well incorporated.
- Pour the lemon and olive oil dressing over the lettuce mixture.
- Toss all the ingredients together until they are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Transfer the slaw to a serving platter or individual plates.
- For best results, serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp texture of the vegetables.
- Optionally, garnish with extra mint leaves or a sprinkle of additional lemon zest for an added touch of color and flavor.
Tips:
- For maximum freshness, prepare the slaw right before serving.
- Adjust the amount of lemon zest according to your taste preference.
- You can add other ingredients like thinly sliced radishes or cucumbers for extra crunch.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs like parsley or cilantro in place of mint.
- Make sure to dry the lettuce thoroughly after washing to avoid a soggy salad.
This Iceberg, lemon, and mint slaw is a perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and fresh flavors. It's a breeze to prepare and can elevate any meal, making it more vibrant and nutritious. Enjoy your crisp and refreshing slaw on its own or as a complement to your favorite main dishes.
