Ingredients
  

For the Salad Base
  • 1 head Romaine Lettuce Offers a satisfying crunch; substitute with fresh iceberg or mixed greens if desired.
  • 1 medium Shallot Imparts a mild onion flavor; green onions can replace it for a subtler taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Dill Brings a fresh herbaceous note; fresh is best, but dried will work.
For the Dressing
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest Elevates flavor with aromatic brightness; lime zest can be used.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Adds acidity and freshness; red wine vinegar can be used.
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil Serves as the creamy base for dressing; avocado oil is optional.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt Essential for seasoning; sea salt can be used.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Essential for seasoning; fresh black pepper can be used.
For the Finishing Touch
  • 1 cup Feta Cheese Provides creaminess and a tangy kick; goat cheese can be used.
  • 1 cup Optional Add-Ins Feel free to toss in cherry tomatoes or bell peppers.
