Ingredients
  

  • 2 heads romaine lettuce finely sliced, almost shredded
  • 4 stalks green onions thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh dill chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh mint chopped
  • ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded romaine lettuce, sliced green onions, chopped dill, and chopped mint.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  4. Top with crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately or chill for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Prep the lettuce right: Slice the romaine into very thin ribbons. Thick chunks won’t absorb the dressing as well.
  • Herbs are everything: Use fresh dill and mint for authentic flavor. Parsley can work in a pinch, but it won’t have the same freshness.
  • Balance the dressing: Taste the lemon honey mix before pouring it on. Add more honey if it’s too tart or more lemon if it’s too sweet.
  • Feta options: Use good quality feta in brine if you can find it. It crumbles beautifully and adds the perfect creamy saltiness.
  • Best served fresh: Dress the salad just before serving so the romaine stays crisp. Once dressed, it’s best enjoyed the same day.
