Ingredients
Scale
Dressing
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 lemon, juiced (or 1–2 tbsp champagne vinegar)
- 2 tbsp capers
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Salad
- 2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped
- 4 scallions, diced
- 1 small bunch parsley, chopped
- 1 small bunch dill, chopped
- 1/2 block feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice or champagne vinegar, capers, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth and well combined. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, diced scallions, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Toss with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently but thoroughly to coat all the components evenly with the creamy dressing.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle the salad with poppy seeds for added texture and flavor, then serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- You can substitute lemon juice with champagne vinegar for a different tangy flavor.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to preference, as feta and capers add saltiness to the dressing.
- The salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated briefly before serving.
- Adding other herbs such as mint or basil can complement the flavors nicely.
- This salad pairs well with grilled meats or as a light standalone meal.
