Ingredients
Salad
- 2 heads romaine lettuce
- 3 green onions, chopped
- ½ cup fresh dill, chopped
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare lettuce: Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce to prevent sogginess. Finely chop the leaves and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add aromatics: Incorporate the chopped green onions and fresh dill into the bowl with the lettuce, distributing the flavors evenly.
- Dress the salad: Pour in the olive oil, squeeze the juice of one lemon over the salad, and add the salt. Toss the ingredients well to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Finish with feta: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese to maintain its texture and flavor. Serve the salad immediately to enjoy its fresh vibrant taste.
Notes
- Make sure to dry the lettuce well after washing to keep the salad crisp.
- Adjust lemon juice and salt to taste for your preferred level of tanginess and seasoning.
- For extra crunch, consider adding toasted pine nuts or walnuts.
- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- This salad is best served fresh and should be eaten the same day it is prepared.
