JP's Iceberg Lettuce Dill Salad
Report
My favourite iceberg lettuce salad! Light and refreshing, this is by far the salad I make the most often using iceberg lettuce. The red cabbage adds colour and the snow peas add a touch of crunch, so feel free to substitute these with other vegetables if you wish. Don't skip the herbs, they "make" this salad!

Ingredients
- 8 cups iceberg lettuce , chopped or torn into bite size pieces
- Handful of finely sliced red cabbage (just for a bit of colour)
- 6 Snow peas , diagonally sliced (adds crunch to the salad)
- 3/4 cup Dill , lightly packed
- 3/4 cup coriander/cilantro , lightly packed
- 1/2 eschalot / french onion (US: shallots), finely chopped
Dressing:
- 4 tbsp Verjuice (Note 1)
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or use lemon infused and skip the zest)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp sugar (white)
- 1/2 tsp yellow mustard powder
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Mix Dressing together in screw top jar and shake.
- Mix eschalot and herbs together in the salad bowl. Drizzle with 1/3 of dressing about 20 mins before serving.
- Lay rest of salad ingredients on top.
- Just before serving, add rest of dressing and toss
Notes
- Verjuice is made from unfermented grapes and is like a mild vinegar. It's fantastic for salad dressings because it is not as sharp as other vinegars so you don't need as high an oil to vinegar ratio to make a smooth dressing. Nowadays in Australia, it is sold in most supermarkets in the vinegar section. If you can't find Verjuice, white wine vinegar + 1/2 tsp extra sugar is a suitable substitute.
