Ingredients

Salad

12 ounces Romaine Lettuce, chopped or torn (360 g)
1 medium tomato, cut into wedges (about 1 oz each serving)
4 ounces cucumber, sliced
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
20 Kalamata Olives
1 ounce red onion, thinly sliced

Greek Vinaigrette Dressing

½ cup olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon minced shallot
½ teaspoon garlic, grated
½ teaspoon dried oregano, rubbed
¼ teaspoon dried marjoram, rubbed
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoon low carb sugar (or Swerve Granulated, or sugar, or honey)

Instructions

Greek Vinaigrette:

Add all of the ingredients for the dressing to a medium lidded jar. Shake for 1-2 minutes to mix the ingredients prior to dressing the salad. Alternately, use an immersion blender to emulsify the Vinaigrette. (The dressing tastes best if allowed to sit in the fridge overnight.)

Salad:

Wash the lettuce, chop or tear, and place into a large bowl or 4 individual serving bowls.
Slice the cucumber, tomato, and onion. Arrange evenly over the lettuce.
Top the salad with the remaining salad ingredients. Spoon dressing over or toss and serve. Serves 4, at 5 net carbs each.
