Minted Green Salad

This vibrant minted green salad is a celebration of crisp textures and refreshing flavours. By combining soft butterhead lettuce with crunchy romaine and cooling cucumber, it creates a wonderful base for the fragrant punch of fresh mint leaves. The addition of shaved carrot ribbons adds a lovely splash of colour and a delicate natural sweetness that balances the zesty dressing perfectly.

As a versatile vegan side dish, this recipe is ideal for serving alongside grilled vegetables, plant-based burgers, or as a light accompaniment to a summer Sunday roast. It is incredibly simple to prepare, making it a reliable choice for mid-week meals or garden gatherings. The light dressing of extra-virgin olive oil and red-wine vinegar keeps the salad bright and heart-healthy without masking the seasonal ingredients.
