Scale
Salad
- 2 heads romaine lettuce
- 3 green onions, chopped
- ½ cup 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 thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce to remove any dirt or excess moisture. Finely chop the lettuce and place it into a large mixing bowl to serve as the base of the salad.
- Add fresh herbs and onions: Incorporate the chopped green onions and dill into the bowl with the lettuce, providing fresh and aromatic flavors.
- Make and toss the dressing: Pour in the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and salt over the salad ingredients. Toss everything well to ensure the leaves and herbs are evenly coated with the zesty dressing.
- Add feta and finish: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese to the salad, taking care not to crush it. Toss lightly once more and serve the salad immediately to enjoy its fresh taste and crisp textures.
Notes
- Make sure to dry the lettuce completely to avoid a watery salad.
- For extra zest, you can add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
- Use good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- This salad is best served fresh and not stored for long to maintain crispness.
