Thoroughly wash the romaine lettuce under cold water, dry it using a salad spinner or pat dry with a clean towel. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create the dressing.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure all ingredients are well coated.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped dill and mint leaves over the top of the salad for added freshness.
