Why you will love this Greek lettuce salad (Maroulosalata)
- This Greek lettuce salad is unbelievably easy and one of the most refreshing and flavorful salad recipes you can make at home.
- It is a fresh, flavorful salad that requires minimal effort. You only need a handful of ingredients, and Bob is your uncle. No other salad can be as economical as this one. Romaine lettuce is one of the cheapest types of lettuce to buy, and with just a few hearts, you can make this delicious salad.
- This salad recipe comes together in 5 minutes, making it ideal for warm weather. However, you can also serve it all year round.
- I used a simple salad dressing of lemon, oregano, dill, and olive oil to bring this Maroulosalata together. However, the highlight for me is the addition of feta cheese. Honestly, feta cheese is gold. It makes everything better, and this recipe wouldn’t be Greek without it.
- I massaged the dressing and feta cheese into the thinly sliced romaine lettuce and green onions to ensure the flavors were evenly distributed and that every bite was delicious. I hope you enjoy this Mediterranean salad as much as Loved putting it together.
