Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 2 heads romaine lettuce
- 3 green onions, chopped
- ½ cup fresh dill, chopped
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Lettuce: Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce to remove any dirt or moisture. Finely chop the leaves and place them in a large bowl to form the base of the salad.
- Add Aromatics: Add the chopped green onions and fresh dill to the bowl with the lettuce, incorporating their flavors evenly throughout the salad.
- Dress the Salad: Pour in the olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice, then sprinkle the salt over the ingredients. Toss the salad well to ensure all components are lightly coated and flavors meld together.
- Incorporate Feta: Gently add the crumbled feta cheese to the salad. Toss the salad once more carefully to distribute the feta without breaking it down too much. Serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture.
