½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Prepare the lettuce: Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Finely chop the lettuce and place it into a large mixing bowl.
Add herbs and aromatics: Add the chopped green onions and dill to the bowl with the lettuce, mixing gently to distribute evenly.
Mix the dressing: In a separate small bowl or directly over the salad, add the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and salt. Toss the salad well to combine the dressing with the greens.
Add feta and serve: Finally, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad and gently toss once more. Serve the maroulosalata immediately for the freshest flavor.
Notes
Use fresh dill and green onions for the best flavor and aroma.
Romaine lettuce can be substituted with other crisp lettuces like butter lettuce or cos lettuce.
Adjust the lemon juice and salt to taste if you prefer a more tangy or seasoned salad.
Serve immediately to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
For a vegan version, omit feta or replace with a plant-based cheese alternative.
