Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by carefully rinsing 1 head of Romaine lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt. Thinly slice the lettuce into bite-sized pieces, then transfer it to a salad spinner to ensure it’s dry.
  2. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil with the juice of 1 lemon, ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Whisk the mixture vigorously for about 30 seconds until it’s emulsified and creamy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the dried Romaine lettuce, 2 chopped green onions, and ¼ cup of fresh dill. Crumble in ½ cup of feta cheese and gently fold the ingredients together.
  4. Just before you're ready to serve, pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss everything together using clean hands or salad tongs.
  5. For an added touch, garnish with a sprinkle of extra dill on top. Serve the salad immediately, either on its own or alongside grilled meats.

Notes

Dress the salad just before serving to maintain the crisp texture of the Romaine lettuce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days but keep the dressing separate.
