Notes
- Alternative additions
- If you're making my maroulosalata in advance, do not add the dressing or feta until you're ready to serve to avoid the salad becoming soggy.
- If you think you may have leftovers, serve only half the salad dressed with oil and feta and dress more as you need it. The salad won't stay crisp and wonderful for long with the dressing.
- Without any dressing or feta the salad will stay fresh for 2-3 days in the fridge, well wrapped in plastic wrap. Simply dress with the lemon dressing and feta just before serving.
- Instead of fresh dill you can try chopped fresh mint, oregano or tarragon.
- Instead of dried oregano, try dried mint or dill
- Add other green ingredients like green bell pepper, celery, green olives and pumpkin seeds.
