The most delicious Greek Salad Recipe: Maroulosalata (Greek Lettuce Salad and Dressing)

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and calories while still providing creaminess.

Start with romaine lettuce and chop it super thinly, almost shredding it.

Toss the chopped lettuce onto a bowl with ice to keep it crispy while you prepare other ingredients.

Chop fresh mint leaves and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.

Finely chop fresh dill and add it to the bowl with the lettuce and mint.

Chop green onions, using both the white and green parts, and add them to the bowl.

In a separate bowl, juice one lemon, catching any seeds with your hand.

Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of oregano to the lemon juice.

Drizzle in extra virgin olive oil and whisk until emulsified.

Collect the ice from the bowl with the lettuce and spin the lettuce dry in a salad spinner.

Add crumbled feta cheese to the salad mixture.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss with your hands, massaging the lettuce to combine everything.

Serve the salad quickly to enjoy its freshness.
