A shower of grated feta is the secret to this simple Greek-inspired salad. Though traditional versions typically feature larger chunks of cheese, grating the feta means every forkful gets a hit of its salty, creamy flavor. Combined with crisp romaine, fresh dill, scallions, and a zesty oregano-garlic vinaigrette, it's a vibrant side that pairs beautifully with everything from grilled lamb to roasted fish.

Ingredients

2 1/2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
4 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1 small clove garlic, grated
10 scallions, white and light green parts finely chopped; dark green parts thinly sliced and separated
1 head romaine lettuce (about 1 1/2 lb.), quartered and sliced into 1/4-in.-thick ribbons (about 12 cups)
1/2 cup mint leaves, very roughly chopped
Kosher salt and pepper
4 oz. firm Greek feta cheese (see Tip)
1/2 cup dill fronds, finely chopped

Directions

1. Step 1In medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, oregano, and garlic. Fold scallion white and light green parts into dressing.
2. Step 2In large bowl, toss together romaine, dark green scallion parts, mint, dressing, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
3. Step 3Arrange half of salad on large platter. Grate half of feta on top, then sprinkle with half of dill. Repeat with remaining salad, feta, and dill and serve immediately.

TIP: Choose a firm feta and grate instead of crumble. The fine shreds distribute more evenly, giving balanced saltiness in every bite—and making a small piece stretch further.
