This classic Greek-inspired recipe combines crisp shredded romaine lettuce with fragrant fresh dill, parsley, and tender slices of scallions, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. A simple yet vibrant dressing of extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice adds a tangy kick, while optional crumbled feta cheese offers a creamy finish for a touch of indulgence.

Whether enjoyed as a standalone appetizer or paired with grilled meats and seafood, Salata Marouli is a delightful way to embrace wholesome, fresh ingredients.
Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water, then pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner. Chop the lettuce into thin shreds and add it to a large mixing bowl.
Slice the scallions (green onions) thinly, including the green tops, and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Finely chop the fresh dill and parsley, and sprinkle them over the lettuce and scallions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to evenly coat all the ingredients.
Optional: Crumble the feta cheese over the top for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light appetizer. Enjoy your fresh and zesty Salata Marouli!
