This recipe is a fresh twist on a classic steakhouse salad with a delicious feta and Greek yogurt dressing. “The cucumbers, tomatoes and onions are super juicy and bright on top of the crunchy lettuce and creamy, briny, salty feta dressing,” says chef Eden Grinshpan.

Ingredients

Dressing

  • 1 cup large-chunk crumbles sheep’s milk feta
  • 1/3 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium garlic clove, peeled
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Garlicky Breadcrumbs

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ tsp kosher salt

Salad

  • 1 head iceberg lettuce
  • 3 Persian or mini cucumbers, cut into ½”-thick half-moons
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
  • Large handful fresh mint
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Yield: Serves 4 to 6

Make Dressing

  1. In high-speed blender, combine all ingredients. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Make Breadcrumbs 

  1. Heat olive oil in small pan over medium heat. When oil shimmers, add garlic. Cook just until garlic begins to lightly brown, less than 1 minute, and add panko. Season with salt, toss to coat in oil, and cook until golden brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

Make Salad

  1. Cut iceberg lettuce in half and remove tough core. Halve each half, then cut each quarter in half to make 8 wedges.
  2. Place lettuce in large salad bowl and scatter with cucumbers and tomatoes. Drizzle with Dressing and sprinkle with Garlicky Breadcrumbs. Finish with chives and mint, plus drizzle of olive oil and a few cracks of pepper.
