Salad

Method

Salad

  1. 1

    Place mixed salad greens in a large chilled bowl and gently toss to aerate and remove any large stems.

  2. 2

    Add the thinly sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion to the greens. Toss gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Scatter the halved Kalamata olives and crumbled feta over the top of the tossed greens and vegetables.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle toasted pine nuts evenly over the salad.

Enssaro Dressing

  1. 5

    Make the dressing

    In a small bowl or jar, combine the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, fresh lemon juice, and white wine vinegar. Whisk briefly to blend.

  2. 6

    Slowly whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil until the dressing emulsifies and thickens slightly.

  3. 7

    Stir in the chopped fresh oregano (or dried), sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning — add a little more lemon or salt if desired.

Assemble & Serve

  1. 8

    Just before serving, drizzle about two-thirds of the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all components evenly. Reserve the remaining dressing for guests who want more.

  2. 9

    Transfer the tossed salad to a serving platter or leave in the bowl. Garnish with lemon zest and arrange fresh dill sprigs on top.

  3. 10

    Serve immediately with crostini or pita wedges on the side. Pass the reserved dressing at the table.
