Lemon Dill Mixed Green Salad

Bright, crisp and palate-cleansing, this tangy salad boasts herbaceousness from an abundance of fresh dill. Canola oil’s mild taste lets all the contrasting flavors shine through. The salad also transforms into an excellent entrée with the addition of grilled or seared fish, shrimp or scallops.
