Lemon salad is tasty and straightforward to make. In just 15 minutes, you can have a healthy dish that's perfect for lunch and dinner.

• 1 clove of garlic,
• 5 tablespoons of olive oil,
• 1 iceberg lettuce,
• 1 red bell pepper,
• 1/2 a package of feta cheese,
• 2 lemons,
• 3.5 ounces of green olives,
• 1 packet of Greek salad dressing,
• 1 cucumber,
• 1/2 a bunch of fresh mint.

1. Preparing the lettuce: First, tear the iceberg lettuce into smaller pieces and place them in a large bowl.
2. Preparing the vegetables: Slice the cucumber into half-moons, cut the bell pepper into strips, and halve the olives. Add all the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the lettuce.
3. Preparing the lemon: Peel the lemon, remove the white pith, and chop it into smaller pieces, saving any juice that escapes during this process.
4. Preparing the dressing: Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, and salad dressing in a separate bowl.
5. Final combination: Incorporate chopped mint into the salad, mixing all the ingredients well.

• Add vegetables like tomatoes, corn, or red onion to the salad for variety.
• Pair the salad with crisp bread or croutons for added texture.
• If you enjoy spice, a pinch of chili or cayenne pepper can bring additional heat to the dish.
