- [Natasha] Hi everyone, it'sNatasha of Natashaskitchen.com and today, we are making afresh and flavorful Greek salad. This is loaded with allthe best ingredients and you'll want the zesty lemon dressing on all of your salads. You'll need one large or two small heads of romaine lettuce. (Natasha laughs) Here's our favorite way to chop lettuce. Cut it in half, then remove the core. (cat yowls) Slice in half again, thenchop into bite-sized pieces. To keep your romaine lettuce really crisp, make sure you rinse in ice-cold water. Drain well and then spin completely dry, because the last thingyou want is a soggy salad. Transfer the lettuce toa pretty serving bowl, then slice up one English cucumber. Add those to your salad bowl. Now, slice one cup ofcherry tomatoes into halves or you can use a large, diced tomato. Transfer those to the bowl as well and now, you're going to slicehalf of a sweet bell pepper and you can use any color,red, orange, or yellow, whatever you have on hand. Into the bowl they go. Now, slice half of a medium red onion. I like this thinly sliced and it adds a great pop of color and flavor. And now, my favoriteingredient, one large avocado. Peel, pit, and slice thatinto bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl. Now, slice and add halfa cup of Kalamata olives. And last but not least,dice and add four ounces of feta cheese and theKalamata olives and feta cheese give this salad anamazing, salty, tangy bite, so do not skip them. On to the easy Greek dressing. You'll need three tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice and squeeze that rightinto a small Mason jar. Next, add three tablespoonsof good extra virgin olive oil and press in one garlic clove. Season with half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper, then put the lid on and shake it up and you just have to smell this dressing to know it's gonna be good! Alright, all that's left isto dress this gorgeous salad, then toss it together and enjoy. Alright, and when you toss,toss gently but thoroughly, because you want every bite to be coated in that amazing lemon dressing.
