Number Of Ingredients 8

3 medium carrots
1 small head romaine lettuce
3/4 cup feta cheese (3 ounces), crumbled
1/2 cup snipped fresh dill, loosely packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Peel carrots, and cut them into 3-inch lengths. Using a mandoline or sturdy vegetable peeler, slice carrots into thin, translucent strips. Place strips in ice-water bath, and let stand until curly, about 20 minutes. Transfer carrots to a paper towel; blot dry.
  • Discard any bruised romaine leaves, and slice head into 1/4-inch-wide pieces.
  • Combine carrot strips, romaine, half of the cheese, dill, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Drizzle lemon juice and olive oil over the salad, and toss to combine.
  • Divide among four serving plates. Top with remaining feta cheese.
