Ingredients

Scale

Salad Base

  • 2 heads romaine lettuce
  • 3 green onions (chopped)
  • ½ cup dill (chopped)

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon (juice of)
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Topping

  • ½ cup feta (crumbled)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lettuce: Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce to remove any dirt or excess moisture. Then finely chop the lettuce and place it in a large salad bowl to create the base of your salad.
  2. Add Fresh Herbs and Onions: Chop the green onions and dill finely, then add them to the bowl with the lettuce, distributing the flavors evenly throughout the salad.
  3. Mix the Dressing: Pour in the olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice over the salad. Sprinkle the salt on top and toss everything well to ensure the lettuce and herbs are evenly coated with the tangy and savory dressing.
  4. Add Feta and Serve: Finally, crumble the feta cheese over the salad and gently toss it once more to combine without breaking up the cheese too much. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors at their best.

Notes

  • Use fresh and crisp romaine lettuce for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice and salt to taste if preferred more tangy or salty.
  • For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based alternative.
  • This salad is best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and the brightness of the flavors.
  • Optionally add a pinch of black pepper or a few olives for added depth.
