"Lemon and pepper is a classic flavour combination that features in this palette-exercising recipe. Pair a simple, inexpensive dressing with lettuce or mixed greens, bold veggies like sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes, and subtle cucumber and mushroom. Lemon goes best with veggies in the cruciferae family like broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts, so add those, too! Salad-making is not a science, so throw in whatever you have!"
