Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the lettuce, parsley, and dill thoroughly. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

- Core the apple and slice it thinly. You can leave the peel on for extra color and texture or peel it if you prefer.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, parsley, and dill. Toss gently to mix the greens evenly.
- Add the thinly sliced apple to the salad bowl with the greens. Toss again to distribute the apple slices throughout the salad.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil until the mixture is well combined and slightly emulsified.
- Drizzle the lemon and olive oil dressing over the salad. Using salad tongs or two large spoons, toss the salad gently to ensure all the ingredients are coated with the dressing.
- Transfer the salad to individual serving plates or bowls. For an added touch, garnish with a few extra parsley leaves or a sprig of dill on top.
- Serve the Lemony Leaf Salad immediately for the freshest taste and texture.
Tips:
- For extra crunch, consider adding a handful of nuts or seeds such as almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds.
- Use a mandoline slicer to thinly slice the apples for even texture and presentation.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors and provide a refreshing bite.
- If you prefer a more intense lemon flavor, zest some of the lemon peel into the dressing.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, balancing the flavors to your preference.
