Ingredients
  

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 Romaine Lettuce Hearts
  • 5 Spring onions Scallions
  • 10 grams Fresh dill
  • 10 grams Fresh mint
  • 200 grams Greek feta cheese block

Dressing

  • ½ cup Greek olive oil
  • 1 Juice of lemon
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Oregano dried

Instructions
 

  • Thinly slice the romaine lettuce hearts into ribbons, then wash thoroughly to remove any dirt. Dry well using a salad spinner or paper towels.
  • Thinly slice the white and pale green parts of the spring onions. Finely chop the dill and mint, discarding the stems.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine the lettuce, spring onions, dill, and mint.
  • Crumble the feta into the salad.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and oregano until smooth and emulsified.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad, then gently massage the salad with your hands to help the greens absorb the dressing and soften slightly.
  • Just before serving, give the salad one final toss with tongs to ensure everything is well mixed and coated with dressing. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Extra Add-Ins: For added flavour, you can toss in thinly sliced cucumbers or capers to give the salad more texture and a briny kick.
  2. Make Ahead: You can prepare the lettuce, spring onions, dill, and mint up to 1 day in advance. Store the prepared greens in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture, and keep them in the fridge. For the best texture, only dress the salad just before serving.
  3. Storage: Once the salad is dressed, it’s best enjoyed within a couple of hours, as the dressing can cause the lettuce to wilt. If you plan to save any for later, store the undressed salad and dressing separately in the fridge. Dress just before serving for maximum crunch.
