Gilly has put a delicious spin on the classic Greek lettuce salad by adding Kalamata olives and finishing it with a red wine vinegar dressing. This salad has finely chopped romaine lettuce, fresh dill, creamy feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and a red wine vinegar dressing. Although the recipe is simple, the salad is bright, flavorful, and crunchy.

Notes

The salad doesn't need salt or pepper because the olives are already salty. To add a burst of more dill flavor, add a pinch of dried dill to the fresh dill.
Making this salad is very straightforward. Trader Joe's has everything you need. Build the salad and make the dressing. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
