0.7 -> - [Natasha] Hi everyone, it's
Natasha of Natashaskitchen.com
3.39 -> and today, we are making a
fresh and flavorful Greek salad.
7.75 -> This is loaded with all
the best ingredients
10.42 -> and you'll want the zesty lemon dressing
13.11 -> on all of your salads.
16.9 -> You'll need one large or two small heads
19.07 -> of romaine lettuce.
21.163 -> (Natasha laughs)
25.83 -> Here's our favorite way to chop lettuce.
28.07 -> Cut it in half, then remove the core.
32.321 -> (cat yowls)
34.46 -> Slice in half again, then
chop into bite-sized pieces.
39.92 -> To keep your romaine lettuce really crisp,
42.33 -> make sure you rinse in ice-cold water.
46.42 -> Drain well and then spin completely dry,
49.24 -> because the last thing
you want is a soggy salad.
54.45 -> Transfer the lettuce to
a pretty serving bowl,
56.83 -> then slice up one English cucumber.
61.42 -> Add those to your salad bowl.
63.14 -> Now, slice one cup of
cherry tomatoes into halves
66.49 -> or you can use a large, diced tomato.
69.35 -> Transfer those to the bowl as well
71.11 -> and now, you're going to slice
half of a sweet bell pepper
74.47 -> and you can use any color,
red, orange, or yellow,
77.39 -> whatever you have on hand.
81.85 -> Into the bowl they go.
83.1 -> Now, slice half of a medium red onion.
85.87 -> I like this thinly sliced and it adds
87.87 -> a great pop of color and flavor.
94.04 -> And now, my favorite
ingredient, one large avocado.
97.81 -> Peel, pit, and slice that
into bite-sized pieces
101.09 -> and add it to the bowl.
107.23 -> Now, slice and add half
a cup of Kalamata olives.
115.54 -> And last but not least,
dice and add four ounces
118.86 -> of feta cheese and the
Kalamata olives and feta cheese
122.35 -> give this salad an
amazing, salty, tangy bite,
125.95 -> so do not skip them.
133.1 -> On to the easy Greek dressing.
135.62 -> You'll need three tablespoons
137.16 -> of freshly squeezed lemon juice
139.06 -> and squeeze that right
into a small Mason jar.
144.43 -> Next, add three tablespoons
of good extra virgin olive oil
148.5 -> and press in one garlic clove.
152.01 -> Season with half a teaspoon of salt
153.98 -> and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper,
156.12 -> then put the lid on and shake it up
158.67 -> and you just have to smell this dressing
160.5 -> to know it's gonna be good!
167.39 -> Alright, all that's left is
to dress this gorgeous salad,
172 -> then toss it together and enjoy.
177.96 -> Alright, and when you toss,
toss gently but thoroughly,
181.3 -> because you want every bite to be coated
183.55 -> in that amazing lemon dressing.
187.86 -> Oh my goodness, this salad is loaded
191.14 -> and I am so hungry for this,
193.18 -> so we're gonna go ahead

207.51 -> and if you wanna serve
this as a dinner salad,
209.58 -> it's so easy to add some protein.
211.89 -> Just use either boiled eggs
or some sliced chicken breast
216.62 -> or even steak.
