  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: fresh dill, hard-boiled eggs, everything bagel seasoning, feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Arrange the mixed greens on a large plate or in a salad bowl.

  • Add grains like quinoa or farro for a heartier salad.
