If you thought that Greek salad was the most popular salad dish in Greece, you may want to sit down. Although it may get all the glory, most Greeks actually eat far more Maroulosalata which translates to “lettuce salad”. Simple, zingy, and fresh—what’s not to love?

Ingredients:

  • 2 romaine lettuce hearts
  • 4-5 scallions
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon mint, finely chopped
  • ½ cup Greek olive oil
  • 3-4 tablespoons red wine vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Thinly slice the lettuce and scallions and place them in a bowl with the fresh herbs. 
  2. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, and salt until it emulsifies. 
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad greens and toss.
