Maroulosalata (Greek Lettuce Salad)

Recipe Description

Looking for a nice light salad to go with your meal? Here’s Maroulosalata (Greek Lettuce Salad) – a lemony green salad bursting with tang and crunch. Briny feta adds salty bites that complement the crisp, fresh lettuce, while fresh dill adds a lovely herbal touch. And the dressing? It’s delightfully simple, made with just lemon juice, olive oil and salt, bringing everything together beautifully. This simple Greek salad with lettuce makes for a quick, fresh side dish or even a light supper.

Rinse and thinly slice two hearts of Romaine lettuce, then dry thoroughly with a salad spinner. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of a lemon, and a pinch of kosher salt until smooth. Combine the lettuce with the sliced scallions, chopped fresh dill, and crumbled feta cheese in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and massage gently to coat. Serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness!
