(Must be logged into WW on a smartphone or tablet.) 1 PointsPlus (Old plan) No Fresh Dill? Any combination of soft fresh herbs - parsley, cilantro, basil and/or mint - would be delicious. No Romaine? Shredded green leaf lettuce and or iceberg would work instead. No Scallions? Substitute thinly sliced red, yellow or white onion or shallots. No Fresh Garlic? Use 1/8 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder instead. No Fresh Lemon Juice? Use your favorite vinegar - red wine, white wine, rice wine, apple cider, balsamic, sherry, etc. Possible Additions? Grated or shredded cheese, chopped nuts, sunflower seeds would be nice. Turn this into a satisfying main course salad with the addition of your favorite cooked protein - shrimp, fish, chicken, pork, steak, tofu, chickpeas, etc.
