Note

For best texture, ensure the greens are completely dry before dressing to prevent wilting.

The soda bread should be served warm, sliced thick, and topped with a generous amount of softened unsalted butter.

You can substitute the mixed greens with simple butter lettuce or spinach if preferred.

If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced onions in ice water for 10 minutes before adding them to the plate.
