SUNDAY'S FETA, DILL, LEMON, AND ROMAINE GREEK SALAD



Sunday's Feta, Dill, Lemon, and Romaine Greek Salad image

This is an extremely simple, yet wonderfully delicious salad that I make when I see freshly made Feta in the grocery store. It was introduced to me as a child, and ever since then...well I am an addict :) I have also made every friend of mine that has tried this one as well. If you like lots of lemon, you like dill, and you love feta, you will love this salad!

ROMAINE SALAD WITH FETA, ORANGES, BACON



Romaine Salad With Feta, Oranges, Bacon image

This is a great salad that gets rave reviews and is always finished off quickly wherever it is served. The combination of ingredients may be pretty unusual, but they work unexpectedly well together. We sometimes use fresh strawberries in place of the oranges during strawberry season and I know for sure we don't use nearly as much bacon as called for so take that into account. As with all salads, add ingredients in the amount you prefer, I'm just posting as written. This is excellent though! The feta really makes this for me!
