JP’s Iceberg Lettuce Dill Salad Recipe
My favourite iceberg lettuce salad ever! The dill and coriander/cilantro is a novel herb pairing with iceberg lettuce that makes this really memorable. It’s so refreshing and light-weight, and the straightforward dressing is completely smack bang good with this salad. All people I’ve made this for LOVES it!
My buddy JP is the Queen of Salads. When she locations on a summer time season lunch, she makes primarily probably the most great unfold of salads. So good that you simply simply don’t even assume twice there’s no huge slab of meat, or piles of carbs. Her salads are always fascinating, satisfying, utterly dressed and not at all, ever boring.
If all salads on this world had been just about pretty much as good as hers, I’ll swear off meat and carbs with out finish.
Successfully! There’s a blatant lie. It sounded good. But it surely certainly’s an outright fib. 😉
Referring to iceberg lettuce, I imagine many people think about stock-standard inexperienced salads. Add some tomato, cucumbers and a standard French or Italian dressing.
That this salad is form of completely totally different is the very trigger why I prefer it quite a bit. I really assume it’s the herbs that makes all the distinction. I had not at all thought-about combining dill and coriander with iceberg lettuce sooner than, nevertheless I don’t know why because of I like these two herbs collectively – akin to on this Pearl Couscous Salad and Mediterranean Brown Rice Salad.
PS Moreover love JP’s tip to soften the herbs by drizzling over plenty of the dressing and isolating for 20 minutes. This moreover infuses additional of the herby flavour into the dressing too.
She supplies a handful of purple cabbage for coloration and sliced snow peas for crunch. It’s a nice sight, the up to date crisp iceberg lettuce and the pops of coloration. And it tastes SO GOOD!
I’m sharing this Iceberg Lettuce Dill Salad recipe proper now because of it is part of my 2016 Christmas Menu! This years’ Christmas menu is a seafood one with a Parmesan Crusted Side of Salmon as a result of the centrepiece. So this salad is an absolute good match.

Notes
1. 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.
