So now im obsessed with Greek food...again

and these recipes look amazing, am planning on making this soup/salad soon!!!

SIMPLE LETTUCE SALAD

1 small lettuce
2-3 spring onions
fresh parsley
dill (optional)
olive oil - extra virgin
lemon juice from 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper

For the salad dressing:

Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper together in a cup or small bowl until it becomes opaque - you may have to add a little more of oil or lemon juice to get this result. Generally you need at least double oil to lemon, but this differs depending on type of oil used.
