How to Make Armenian Tossed Salad

  1. In a small bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. If using a jar, shake well to combine.
  2. Set the vinaigrette aside to let the flavors meld for at least 15 minutes (or longer, up to 2 hours).
  3. Tear 1 large head of romaine lettuce and 1/2 head of chicory into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Place the lettuce and chicory in a large salad bowl.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1/4 cup Kalamata olives.
  6. Just before serving, gently toss the salad to combine the vegetables.
  7. Give the vinaigrette a quick whisk or shake to re-emulsify.
  8. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy the bright flavors of this Armenian-inspired salad!
