Maroulosalata is one of the most common salads in Greece. The simple ingredient list shouldn't fool you — it's such a light, crunchy, refreshing salad that's full of flavor. The key to authenticity is to almost shred the romaine lettuce (marouli), rather than tear it into large pieces.

Ingredients

  • 1 head romaine lettuce

  • 6 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

Directions

  1. Wash and dry romaine lettuce. Lay leaves on a cutting board and slice lengthwise across the leaves, shredding them into 1/4-inch strips.

  2. Transfer lettuce to a large bowl. Add scallions, dill, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper; toss until well combined. Adjust oil, vinegar, and seasoning to taste.

Cook’s Note

I particularly love this salad alongside roast or grilled meats. 

If you want, chill the salad in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 hours before serving, but leave the oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper out until just before serving.
