Columella salad (moretum)

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Head iceberg or romaine
Lettuce
½ teaspoon Savory
2 teaspoons Mint
2 teaspoons Fresh rue, chopped (opt.)
2 teaspoons Fresh coriander, chopped
(opt.)
2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
4 Green onions, trimmed and
Chopped
½ teaspoon Thyme
¾ cup Feta cheese, crumbled
¼ teaspoon Ground pepper
¼ cup Vinegar
¼ cup Olive oil
¾ cup Walnuts, chopped

Directions

1) Wash and dry the lettuce leaves; cut or tear into bite-size pieces and place into a salad bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss lightly.

NOTE: Lightly toasted sesame seeds may be substituted for the walnuts. To make moretum more authentically, use only two lettuce leaves; place them and the remaining green ingredients into a blender and blend well. Transfer to a mixing bowl, and add the cheese and ground pepper. Form into a ball. Add the vinegar and oil in sparing amounts.
