Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Prepare the Lettuce: Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly to remove any dirt and excess moisture. Finely chop the lettuce and place it into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add Aromatics: Incorporate the chopped green onions and dill into the bowl with the lettuce to add fresh herbal and onion flavors.
  3. Dress the Salad: Pour in the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and sprinkle the salt over the salad ingredients. Toss everything well to ensure the dressing evenly coats the greens.
  4. Add Feta and Toss Gently: Finally, add the crumbled feta cheese on top and gently toss the salad once more, preserving the feta chunks. Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Use fresh dill for the best flavor; dried dill will not provide the same vibrant taste.
  • Adjust the lemon juice quantity to your taste preference for acidity.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
  • If you prefer a saltier flavor, increase the salt slightly but be mindful of the feta cheese’s salt content.
  • For a vegan version, omit the feta or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative.
