Greek Salad With Fennel
- 1/2 small red onion
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- Juice of 1 small lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 pound Greek feta
- 1/2 large fennel bulb, with fronds
- 6 cups roughly chopped Romaine (2/3 small head)
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped roasted red pepper
- 1/4 cup green olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, whole
- Thinly slice the onion and put the slices in a small bowl of cold water. Set aside while you prepare the rest of the salad.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice and salt. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly. Taste and add more salt if you like, as well as a few grinds of pepper. Chop up about 1/4 of the feta and whisk into the dressing. Set aside.
- Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the fennel as thinly as possible, setting aside any nice fronds first. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of fennel when you're through.
- Add the lettuce, fennel, red pepper, olives and red onion (squeezed dry) to a large bowl. Drizzle about half the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Taste and add more dressing if needed. Crumble the rest of the feta over the top of the salad and toss just a couple of times to combine. Garnish the salad with the fennel fronds and serve immediately.
