Greek salad is great year-round, but I especially love eating it in spring. The fresh herbs, briny feta, zesty lemon, and crunchy veggies give it a fresh and clean flavor that compliments the warming weather perfectly. Technique tip: No real technique needed, just a lot of good fresh herbs and ingredients for the salad. Also, don't add the dressing until the last few minutes so you can keep maximum crunchiness.

Ingredients

Salad

1/2 cup Crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup Coarsely chopped Kalamata
1/2 Red onion, very thinly sliced
1 Green bell pepper
1 Medium cucumber
1 Medium head romaine lettuce
4 Large ripe heirloom or plum tomatoes

Dressing

Freshly ground black pepper
Salt
1 tbsp. Minced Kalamata olives
1 tbsp. Finely crumbled feta cheese
1 tsp. Minced fresh dill
1 tsp. Minced fresh oregano or 1/4 teaspoon dried
1 clove Garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp. Red wine vinegar
1/4 cup Fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 tsp. Extra virgin olive oil

Method

01

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano and dill. Stir in the feta and olives and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside and only dress the salad right before serving.
02
