A Simple Salad: Shredded Romaine & Dill Recipe

This simple salad  has become one of my favorite simple salad recipes to make these days.

I can’t seem to get enough since first making it at The Conscious Gourmet Cooking Retreat I attended in Sedona with my sister last month.

All of the food was delicious, but this was a revelation — how can something so simple be so good?

With just three ingredients — romaine, dill, and scallions — and a simple vinaigrette, it’s definitely one of the best simple salads I’ve ever tasted so I find myself turning to it regularly.

Fortunately, the rest of the family likes it as much as I do.

It’s full of fresh dill, so if you don’t like dill, you’ll want to skip it or replace it with other fresh herbs of your choice.

I think mint and basil would be nice.
