Ingredients
Dressing Ingredients
- ⅓ cup red wine vinegar $0.53
- 1 Tbsp honey $0.15
- ½ tsp salt $0.01
- ½ tsp black pepper $0.10, freshly cracked
- 2 tsp oregano $0.22, fresh
- 2 Tbsp olive brine $0.00
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard $0.02
- 1 Tbsp feta cheese $0.27, crumbled
- 4 cloves garlic $0.24, minced
- ½ cup olive oil $1.55
Salad Ingredients
- 3 romaine lettuce $3.42, heads, rinsed and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- ⅓ feta cheese $1.35, block plus 1 Tbsp, about 3 oz, crumbled and divided
- ⅓ cup kalamata olives $1.44, pitted, chopped
- 1 cup grape tomato $0.82, halved
- 1 cucumber $0.72, peeled and diced
- ½ red onion $0.53, sliced thin
Instructions
- Gather the dressing ingredients (red wine vinegar, honey, salt, black pepper, fresh oregano, olive brine, Dijon mustard, crumbled feta cheese, and minced garlic).
- Whisk all dressing ingredients together, streaming oil in slowly, and set aside.***
- Gather salad ingredients; rinse and chop romaine, crumble feta, chop Kalamata olives, halve tomatoes, peel and dice cucumbers, and julienne (slice thinly) red onion.
- 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.
