For the best flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and fresh dill. Don't overdress the salad; the lettuce should be lightly coated, not swimming in dressing. Maroulosalata is best served immediately, while the romaine is still crisp. However, you can prepare the lettuce and dressing separately in advance and combine them just before serving. A sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese adds a delightful salty tang to this salad (optional).

May 16, 2025Be sure to dry the lettuce well, or the salad will be watery.
