Maroulosalata is a super simple Greek-style lettuce salad that is full of zingy lemon flavour and crunch. An ideal weekday salad that pairs with everything you can imagine!
So What Is This Strange-Sounding Salad?
Maroulosalata is a Greek lettuce salad - in Greek, lettuce is marouli (μαρούλι), and salad is salata (σαλάτα), hence Maroulosalata which translates to Lettuce Salad.
Traditionally this salad is made with crisp, thinly shredded lettuce, green onions and dill with a simple lemon and olive oil vinaigrette. But there are also versions that may include cucumber, feta and olives.
Try Adding
This salad is loaded with bright and fresh flavours as it is. But feel free to add any of the following ingredients to bolster it even more:
- English cucumber: thinly slice it into half moons for a crunchy bite.
- Feta cheese: add a chunk of feta cheese on top. Sheep’s milk feta is highly recommended, with some dried oregano sprinkled on top.
- Kalamata olives: meaty, briny kalamata olives add another layer of flavour.
- Other herbs: such as mint, tarragon or basil
