Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 2 heads romaine lettuce
- 3 green onions, chopped
- ½ cup fresh dill, chopped
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the lettuce: Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly to remove any grit. Finely chop the lettuce and place it into a large salad bowl.
- Add fresh aromatics: Incorporate the chopped green onions and fresh dill into the bowl with the lettuce for a burst of flavor.
- Make the dressing and toss: Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the salad, sprinkle with salt, and toss well to evenly coat all ingredients with the tangy dressing.
- Add feta and serve: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese to avoid breaking it up too much. Serve the salad immediately while fresh and crisp.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh, high-quality feta cheese, ideally Greek-style.
- You can substitute dill with fresh parsley or mint for a different herbal twist.
- If you prefer a less tangy salad, reduce the lemon juice to 1 tablespoon.
- This salad is best consumed immediately; the lettuce may wilt if left dressed for too long.
- Add black olives for an even more traditional Greek salad experience.
