📋 Instructions

1. 1

   Wash and dry all the mixed lettuce leaves well. Tear the larger leaves by hand into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a wide salad bowl.

2. 2

   Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. If very large, quarter them. Add to the salad bowl.

3. 3

   Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin slices or half-moons. Add to the mixture.

4. 4

   Add the kalamata olives whole or halved according to preference.

5. 5

   Crumble the feta cheese with your fingers into irregular pieces and distribute over the salad.

6. 6

   Prepare the dressing: in a small bowl, mix extra virgin olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, salt, black pepper and dried oregano to taste. Beat with a fork until emulsified.

7. 7

   Drizzle the salad with the dressing just before serving. If dressed too early, the leaves will become wilted.

8. 8

   Decorate with some fresh oregano or basil leaves on top.
