Maroulosalata - Greek Lettuce Salad
Maroulosalata is a Greek lettuce salad featuring thinly sliced romaine lettuce, green onions, fresh dill, and crumbled feta cheese, all tossed in a lemon and olive oil dressing. The salad combines crisp textures with fresh herbal flavors and the salty creaminess of feta. Softening the lettuce slightly with the dressing enhances the salad’s tenderness and flavor integration, making it a refreshing dish.

Ingredients
- 1 romaine lettuce 1 lb or 2 hearts romaine lettuce, head
- 5 green onion chopped (2/3 cup, or scallions
- 1 dill chopped (2-3 Tbsp, bunch, fresh

Instructions
- Chop the lettuce - Thinly slice your lettuce and rinse in very cold water. Spin dry in a salad spinner.*
- Make the dressing - In a separate bowl (or in a mason jar), combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk or shake up until well blended.
- Assemble the Salad- Add the lettuce, green onion/scallion, dill and feta.*
- Toss - When ready to serve, drizzle the dressing over the salad (I use all of it) and use tongs to thoroughly toss the salad with the dressing. You want to massage the dressing into the salad to soften it a bit and infuse flavor. Garnish with more dill if desired and enjoy!

Notes
- Rinse and spin dry lettuce thoroughly before slicing to preserve crispness; a salad spinner is recommended.
- Store lettuce and dressing separately in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours and toss with dressing shortly before serving.
- For a fuller meal, top the salad with grilled chicken, shrimp, salmon, or steak.
