How to Make A Different Greek Salad
- Prepare the romaine: Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce. Cut the leaves crosswise into 1/2-inch strips.
- Infuse the bowl: Rub a large salad bowl generously with the cut garlic clove. This will subtly infuse the salad with garlic flavor.
- Combine ingredients: Add the romaine lettuce strips, chopped dill, and thinly sliced scallions to the prepared bowl.
- Refrigerate (optional): At this point, you can cover the salad and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional.
- Dress the salad: Just before serving, squeeze the lemon juice over the salad to taste. Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil.
- Season and toss: Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to thoroughly combine the ingredients and dressing.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with the halved Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
