    Cup of Yum

  2. Whisk all dressing ingredients together, streaming oil in slowly, and set aside.***
  3. Gather salad ingredients; rinse and chop romaine, crumble feta, chop Kalamata olives, halve tomatoes, peel and dice cucumbers, and julienne (slice thinly) red onion.
  4. Toss all ingredients together with a drizzle of salad dressing until it’s dressed to your liking. Save any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • *I usually end up having to pick off a few of the outer leaves on each head of lettuce because they're wilted or bruised beyond crispiness! I intended to only use 2 heads of lettuce (the kind that come in the 3 packs at the grocery store) but because some of the leaves looked a little sad, I used all 3.
  • **Reserve 1 Tbsp of crumbled feta cheese for the dressing
  • ***This dressing is a “temporary emulsion”, so you will want to give it a good whisk (or a shake if you made it in a jar) before dressing your salad.
