Recipe type: Salad
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 2 med. romaine lettuce hearts, very thinly sliced
  • 4 med. scallions, white part and most of the green part, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 4 oz. Greek feta, crumbled
  • 10 --- Kalamata olives, pitted, cut in half (optional)
  • For the vinaigrette:
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3-4 TBSP. lemon juice or red wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp. sea salt
Instructions
  1. Wash and dry very well the lettuce heart leaves. Slice them very thin (about ¼”) and place them in a large serving bowl. Top the lettuce with the sliced scallions and the fresh dill and set aside (you can do this a couple of hours ahead of time, cover and refrigerate.)
  2. In a small jar with a tight lid, combine all the dressing ingredients and shake to emulsify. The dressing can also be done ahead of time.
  3. When you are ready to serve the salad, combine the greens with the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Top with the crumbled Feta and olives (if using), taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt if needed. Serve at once with some crusty bread on the side.
