Maroulosalata, a Greek lettuce salad

Step 1

Wash your lettuce thoroughly and remove any brown or wilted leaves.  Drain your lettuce. A salad spinner is very helpful here.

Step 2

When your lettuce is dried, you are ready to chop it.  Using a sharp knive, take a few lettuce leaves at a time (piled on top of each other) and start to cut the lettuce into bite-sized strips, a few centimeters wide.  Place in a large bowl.

Step 3

To the lettuce add your cucumber pieces and your chopped green onion.

Step 4

In a jar with a well-fitted lid, combine all of your vinaigrette ingredients. Shake well until combined and right before you are ready to serve your salad, pour as much of the vinaigrette over it.  Mix well.

Step 5

Enjoy, and serve with feta if desired.
