There’s something about a simple green salad that never goes out of style. Crisp lettuces, pops of radicchio, and fresh herbs tossed in a bright, lemony vinaigrette — it’s the kind of dish that feels effortless, yet instantly elevates any table. Whether you’re serving it alongside grilled seafood, pasta night, or a cozy weeknight dinner, this salad brings freshness and balance to every bite.

What I love most about this version is its simplicity. A handful of vibrant greens, plenty of fresh herbs, and just the right amount of citrus create a salad that feels light but full of flavor. It’s the kind of recipe you’ll come back to again and again — easy enough for everyday, beautiful enough for hosting.
