Maroulosalata (Greek Lettuce Salad) - Step 2

Ingredients

2 heads romaine lettuce (about 400g/14oz), washed and chopped
3 green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
½ cup fresh dill (20g/0.7oz), chopped
½ cup feta cheese (75g/2.6oz), crumbled
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (30ml)
1 lemon, juice only (about 2 tablespoons/30ml)
½ teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1

1. Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly and dry completely using a salad spinner or clean kitchen towels. Excess moisture will dilute the dressing.

Step 2

2. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Step 3

3. Add the thinly sliced green onions and chopped fresh dill to the bowl with the lettuce.

Step 4

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently but thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 6

6. Add the crumbled feta cheese and toss very gently to distribute without breaking up the cheese too much.

Step 7

7. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately while the lettuce is crisp and fresh.
