When it comes to salads there is so much variety to choose from and really it's up to you how you want to serve them. You can dress them up, make them simple, make them fancy, make them rainbow … so many choices. Now if you should be looking for a nice green salad recipe let Mary Berry help you ...
Mary is one of the best-known and respected cookery writers and broadcasters in the UK. She says; "there is nothing worse than a boring bowl of green leaves served at a table with a meal. I like to add some crunchy vegetables to it and I have a trick to let you make this ahead so the lettuce doesn’t wilt even though you prepared it a couple of hours ago!"
Ingredients
Ingredients
serves ten
For the dill dressing8 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 bunch fresh dill, chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the salad
8 spring onions (scallions), thinly sliced
8 celery sticks, thinly sliced
1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced
½ large cucumber, halved lengthways and sliced
200g/7oz mixed salad leaves, roughly torn
1 Romaine lettuce, roughly torn
100g/3½oz rocket or watercress, roughly torn
Method
1. For the dressing, put the oil, vinegars, mustard, sugar and salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk until evenly combined and thickened. Taste and season again if needed, then mix in the dill.Method
2. Put the spring onions, celery and fennel in a large salad bowl. Pour in the dressing and toss well.
3. Place half the cucumber and half the mixed leaves, Romaine lettuce and rocket in the bowl. Season, then top with the remaining cucumber, leaves, Romaine lettuce and rocket. Season well and chill for up to 4 hours
4. Just before serving, toss everything together.
Tip
Tip
Don’t toss everything together until ready to serve, as the dressing will soften the leaves. The dressing can be chilled in the fridge for up to a week in a screw-top jar. Give it a good shake before using and add the dill just before serving. Use the best quality olive oil for the best flavour.

Nice ideas! Have a good, new week, Valerie
Hello,
The salad looks delicious, I would love the posh roasted veggies. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!
I do like a salad - though I will pass on the cucumber. Fortunately there are LOTS of other delicious green veg.
That salad looks delicious! Thanks.
Lovely, I do like a nice salad. Take care and have a great week, Sue xx
They both look tasty
It's amazing how many delicious ideas you have! I started to skip salads, became lazy but looking at these nice salads I certainly will return back to them.
Stay safe and healthy!
I wish you a nice week with many more wonderful ideas!
Looks tasty. Time for salads, if the weather improves a little.
God bless.
Delicious salad recipe!
I always enjoy a nice salad. The roasted vegetables are definitely for me!
delicious ideas! I'm reading this close to dinner time so you are making me a bit hungry!
My daughter-in-law is a big Mary Berry fan. I will have to give her your link. Thanks Jan :)
I love Mary Berry; I need to try her salad dressing for that very good salad!
I can smell it in my third eye
The salad idea looks interesting and tasty.
She is right in my book, a green salad is boring so always adding colour.
Hello Jan!!
The salad recipe looks so delicious and the posh roasted veggies a perfect idea for lunch!
Than you for sharing! Have a lovely new week! Stay safe!

I knew Mary Berry was a Thbaker, but never knew she was famous for something other than baking. As salad greens get more available in our gardens, this sounds like a super idea.
My kind of salad. I adore Mary Berry and her way of making everything look simple.

I have never tried dill dressing, I am so excited that my Romaine lettuce is coming up :)
I agree with the dressing, I have gone to a couple pot luck dinners where they put the dressing on ahead of time and the lettuce is nasty
Thank you, sweet Jan! I printed it out! I have lots of celery and I'll fetch the other ingredients today! God be with you, friend!
Many a day we enjoy a nice salad at our house. This looks delicious.
Yes I agree. My salads are a full meal. Lots of veggies, fruits and sometimes meats.
Both look delicious and healthy 🌷
I can hear the crunch of that salad :-) Looks great!
I have been hungry for a salad all day!!!!! Thank you.
I eat a salad everyday for lunch, Jan, and I never get tired of it. Balsamic is my favorite dressing. I love Mary Berry! Thanks for sharing her recipe.
A delicious combination of ingredients! From some reason, watercress is not in any grocery stores near us. It is a great salad addition.
this looks so good. the roasted vegetables.
Las ensaladas me encantan. Besos.
