Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 large Cucumber
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 100 grams Kalamata olives
- 150 grams Low sodium feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Fresh oregano
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry all the vegetables. Begin by tearing the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them into a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Peel the cucumber if desired, and then slice it into thin rounds. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl with the lettuce.
Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.
Step 4
Thinly slice the red onion and add to the salad. If you wish to mellow the onion's flavor, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes and then drain well before adding.
Step 5
Pit the Kalamata olives if necessary, and add them whole or sliced, according to preference.
Step 6
Cut the low sodium feta cheese into small cubes or crumble it, and then add to the salad.
Step 7
Chop the fresh dill and oregano finely, and sprinkle them over the salad ingredients.
Step 8
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 9
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, although additional salt should be limited due to the recipe's low sodium focus.
Step 11
Serve immediately or let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Enjoy your low sodium Greek salad with feta!
