Made with a combination of heart-healthy olive oil, zesty lemon juice, tangy balsamic vinegar, and a hint of Dijon mustard, this dressing adds a bright and refreshing note to the salad, tying all the ingredients together in a harmonious union of taste and texture.
And let’s not forget the finishing touch: a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a handful of toasted nuts or seeds for added crunch and flavor. Whether it’s fragrant basil, zesty parsley, or earthy thyme, fresh herbs elevate the salad to new heights, infusing it with an irresistible aroma and a burst of freshness that will leave you craving more.
