3. Combine & Serve: In a large bowl, toss the chopped veggies and most of the feta cheese with the dressing. Top with reserved crumbled feta & more herbs and serve immediately.

Customizations

• No feta? Swap it for crumbled goat cheese or leave it out for a dairy-free version.
• Add crunch! Toss in sliced cucumbers or slivered almonds for extra texture.
• More protein? Add grilled chicken or chickpeas to make it a heartier meal.
• Serve alongside grilled meats, seafood, or warm pita for a complete meal.

Tips for the Best Greek Lettuce Salad

• Use fresh herbs. The combination of fresh dill and fresh mint gives this salad its signature flavor, so go for fresh, not dried.
• Chill the lettuce. Crisp, cold romaine makes the salad extra refreshing.
• Toss just before serving. This keeps the lettuce crisp and the flavors bright.

Storage

It’s best to serve lettuce salads like this right after tossing in the dressing.

For meal prep or storage, it’s best to store the dressing separately from the other ingredients. Keeps in the fridge, undressed, for up to 2 days. Dress right before serving.
