Maroulosalata (Greek Lettuce Salad)
A classic Greek lettuce salad made with finely sliced romaine, fresh dill, scallions, lemon, olive oil, and feta. Light, crunchy, and refreshing!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 hearts romaine lettuce thinly sliced
- 4-5 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 bunch fresh dill finely chopped
- 4 oz feta cheese crumbled
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the romaine thoroughly, then thinly slice it into fine ribbons. Dry extremely well using a salad spinner or clean kitchen towels. Thinly slice scallions and chop dill, then set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and salt until emulsified and slightly thick.
- Add the sliced lettuce, scallions, dill, and crumbled feta to a large bowl.
- Pour some of the dressing over the salad (use as much as needed for the amount of lettuce you have, you may not need it all). Using clean hands, gently massage and scrunch the lettuce for 30–60 seconds until softened and glossy.
- Adjust salt or lemon if needed and serve immediately.
Notes
Make ahead: you can slice the lettuce and prep the dressing up to 1 day in advance. Store separately.
