Maroulosalata (Greek Lettuce Salad)

Steps

1. 1
   Prepare a bowl filled with ice. Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce hearts. Slice the lettuce very thinly, almost shredding it.
2. 2
   Place the sliced lettuce on the ice to keep it crisp and fresh while you prepare the other ingredients.
3. 3
   Gather fresh mint leaves and chop them finely.
4. 4
   Chop the fresh dill finely.
5. 5
   Trim the green onions and chop them finely, using both the white and green parts.
6. 6
   Add all the chopped herbs and green onions to the ice bowl to keep them fresh and crisp.
7. 7
   Make the dressing: squeeze the juice from 1 large lemon into a bowl, catching any seeds.
8. 8
   Add a pinch of kosher salt and a pinch of dried oregano.
9. 9
   Pour in the extra virgin olive oil and whisk vigorously to emulsify and thicken the dressing.
10. 10
    Use a salad spinner to remove excess water and ice from the lettuce and herbs, then transfer to a large salad bowl.
11. 11
    Add the crumbled feta cheese.
12. 12
    Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss, massaging the lettuce with your hands to coat everything evenly.

    Serve immediately while the salad is fresh and crisp.
