Maroulosalata Greek Lettuce Salad
Maroulosalata Greek Lettuce Salad
Here is the recipe for this Maroulosalata Greek Lettuce Salad. It is a very easy salad to make. It is refreshing and light and goes very well with summer feasting menus and proteins like fish or chicken. You can make the salad in advance but do not dress it until just before you want to serve it. Make sure you finely chop the dilland the lettuce as it is supposed to be more of a fine delicate salad as opposed to a chunky salad.
On a hot summer day you could make a meal out of this salad alone. If you are not a fan of feta you can omit in from the salad. The cucumber is optional but serves to make this salad even more light and refreshing. I remember this salad mostly being served with whole baked snapper , filled with lemon wedges and parsley and wrapped in aluminum foil. It basically steam in the foil and ensures the fish remains really soft and tender. When you unwrap it from the foil you can serve it as is on a large platter and let people serve themselves. Serve with more lemon wedges and the side dish of this salad.
