Maroulosalata (Greek Romaine Salad)

by

Description

In Greece, maroulosalata is one of the most common salads. The simple ingredient list shouldn’t fool you–it’s such a light, crunchy, refreshing salad that is full of flavor. I particularly love it alongside roast or grilled meats. The key to authenticity is to almost shred the romaine lettuce (marouli), rather than tear it into large pieces as we normally do in the States.

Ingredients

  • 1 head Romaine salad
  • 6 medium scallions, finely sliced
  • ½ cup chopped fresh dill
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry romaine lettuce. Lay leaves on a cutting board and slice lengthwise across the leaves

  5. olive oil
  6. vinegar
