Healthy benefits

It's high in calcium, a mineral that gives strength to bones and teeth. It is important for muscle contraction, blood clotting, and nerve function. It is also a good source of Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Copper, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Thiamin, Folate, Iron, Potassium and Manganese.

Lemons are an excellent source of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is also vital to the function of a strong immune system. The immune system's main goal is to protect you from illness, so a little extra vitamin C may be useful in conditions like colds, flus, and recurrent ear infections. 

Dill is an important source of Vitamin C, dietary fiber and manganese, iron and magnesium.

Ingredients serves one, 31 calories per serving

5 Romaine Lettuce leaves
2 tsp of lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh dill
1 tsp sesame seeds
1/8 tsp Balsamic Vinegar

Preparation

Remove lettuce stems and break into 1-2" pieces. Combine ingredients and serve.

Note to vegan chef

Using fresh dill is much better than dried dill, although I've used it and it's ok. Balsamic Vinegar is strong for my tastes so I add very little.
