This is the kind of salad that feels like a breath of fresh air. Tender baby gem lettuce, peppery arugula, and a generous handful of soft herbs are tossed in a light lemon dressing that’s bright and delicate. Toasted almonds add a subtle crunch, while edible flowers (if you have them) bring a garden-fresh beauty to the bowl.
