How to Make Syrian Salad

  1. Rinse 1 large head of romaine lettuce and tear it into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.
  2. Chop 1 cucumber into half-inch thick slices. Halve 1 pint of cherry tomatoes. Finely chop 1/2 cup of red onion. Add the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion to the salad bowl.
  3. Crumble 4 ounces of feta cheese over the vegetables. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup of Kalamata olives (pitted) over the salad.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of capers. Gently toss to combine.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately or chill for later.
