Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 3–4 scallions (green onions)
- 1/4 cup fresh dill
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Lettuce: Separate the leaves of the Romaine lettuce, wash them thoroughly under cold running water, and dry them very well. Stack a few leaves, roll them up tightly, and slice them into thin ribbons (about ¼ to ½ inch wide). Place the sliced lettuce into a large mixing bowl.
- Chop the Aromatics: Trim the ends of the scallions and slice both the white and green parts very thinly. Add the sliced scallions to the bowl with the lettuce. Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the bowl.
- Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, combine the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk or shake until well emulsified and the salt is dissolved. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Dress and Toss: Pour the dressing over the prepared lettuce, scallions, and dill in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss the salad to ensure everything is lightly coated with the dressing.
- Serve Immediately: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and enjoy it fresh right after it's dressed.

Keywords: Ensure the lettuce is very dry to prevent a watery dressing. Dress the salad just before serving to maintain its crispness. Optional additions like Kalamata olives or crumbled feta cheese can enhance the salad but will change its traditional character.
