Can I make Greek Lettuce Salad ahead of time?

You can prep the ingredients ahead, but don’t toss everything together until right before serving. Once dressed, the lettuce softens quickly.

How should I store leftovers?

If already dressed, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours . It’s still tasty, just less crunchy.

Can I substitute another herb for dill?

Dill is traditional and adds a lot of character, but fresh parsley or mint can work in a pinch.

Is this salad healthy?

Absolutely. It’s full of fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and protein from the feta—light but nourishing.

Instructions

Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce. Finely chop and place it in a large bowl.
Add the chopped green onions and fresh dill to the bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and sprinkle with salt. Toss well to coat the lettuce evenly.
Gently add the crumbled feta and toss lightly. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use feta cheese sold in brine and crumble it yourself for the best creamy texture.

Make sure the lettuce is completely dry so the dressing clings properly.

Toss gently after adding feta to keep it from breaking down too much.

Thinly chopping the lettuce helps keep the salad crisp and evenly dressed.
