Ingredients

  • Romaine lettuce: Refreshing and crisp, as well as a great source of folate and potassium.
  • Scallions: Also called green onions, they are mild in flavor but add a wonderful sharp, peppery taste.
  • Feta cheese: Crumbly and slightly grainy in texture, it has a tangy, salty, pungent flavor.
  • Fresh dill: Fresh, bright, and slightly sweet- I am obsessed with dill and love the flavor it brings to dishes!
  • Lemon juice: Acidic, clean, and bright taste to help dress the salad.
  • Olive oil: The classic, commonly used oil to dress salads, it can be earthy, fruity, or nutty in flavor.
  • Garlic: Nutty, earthy, and pungent flavor in the dressing.

How to Make Greek Herb Salad with Feta

Start your Greek Herb Salad with Feta by washing your vegetables and then you’ll chop your lettuce and herbs.

Then you’ll add the chopped romaine lettuce and diced scallions to a large bowl.

Next, add the minced dill and garlic to the bowl. Fresh parsley would also be a great addition!

Top it all with the feta cheese crumbles.

Then add the fresh lemon juice.

And drizzle the whole thing with olive oil.

Finish it off with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste, and you’re done!
