SIMPLE ROMAINE SALAD



Simple Romaine Salad image

This is a take on a very simple and delicious salad I had at a Greek restaurant in NYC. It's so easy and the end result is super satisfying. Of course you can add your favorite herbs and toppings. But we find the lightly dressed salad is amazing and a great accompaniment to meat. Sprinkle with the salt right before serving; that pop of flavor and crunch is so good. Finishing salt is a must for this salad.
