Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by rinsing your iceberg lettuce, radicchio, and romaine under cold water. Pat them dry and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Slice your cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion while you’re at it. Use fresh vegetables for better flavor.
Combine and Dress
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped iceberg lettuce, radicchio, romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, black olives, and feta cheese.
  2. Drizzle the Italian dressing over the top of the salad. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to your liking, and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Serving
  1. Transfer the chopped salad to a serving bowl or individual plates. It’s best served immediately.

Notes

For maximum freshness, chop your veggies as close to serving as possible. Store leftovers in an airtight container and keep the dressing separate to maintain crunch.
