The biggest challenge with making a Greek Salad is keeping the lettuce crisp. For this reason, it all comes together at the last minute while plating. What I love about Greek Salad, besides the feta cheese, is you really don’t need conventional salad dressing. I use Alaska Spice Shop’s Ultima Frontiera Spice Blend and fresh squeezed lemon juice and avoid the salad dressing all together.

Time Estimate – 15 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4 – 6)

• 4 cups organic Romaine Lettuce
