For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese or toasted pine nuts. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the lemon juice. The salad is best when served immediately to prevent the greens from wilting. However, the dressing can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Try using different herbs, such as basil or dill, for a unique twist on the classic mint flavor.
