How to Make Greek Farmers Green Salad

  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup pine nuts and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  2. Remove pine nuts from skillet and set aside to cool completely.
  3. Wash and thoroughly dry 1 large head of cos lettuce. Finely shred the lettuce and place in a large bowl.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots, and the cooled pine nuts to the bowl.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (ensure it's gluten-free), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Pour dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh flavors of Greece!
