The lemon juice makes this a refreshing summertime salad. I usually don't bother crushing the garlic with the salt, I just use minced garlic and whisk it with the salt and other dressing ingredients. Ingredients:
2 heads romaine lettuce |
1 cucumber |
1 bell pepper (optional) |
4 ounces feta cheese, cubed |
4 ounces black olives |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Wash the lettuce thoroughly and blot dry. Cut the cucumber into quarters lengthways, then into bite-size pieces. Halve the pepper, if using, remove core and seeds and cut into thick slices.
2. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in serving bowl with cucumber, pepper, feta cheese and olives.
3. Combine the oil, lemon juice, crushed/minced garlic, and black pepper, whisking until thick. Pour over salad, toss gently, serve immediately.
