Notes

*I usually end up having to pick off a few of the outer leaves on each head of lettuce because they're wilted or bruised beyond crispiness! I intended to only use 2 heads of lettuce (the kind that come in the 3 packs at the grocery store) but because some of the leaves looked a little sad, I used all 3.
**Reserve 1 Tbsp of crumbled feta cheese for the dressing
***This dressing is a “temporary emulsion”, so you will want to give it a good whisk (or a shake if you made it in a jar) before dressing your salad.
