This maroulosalata is an easy, flavorful salad that can be made in only 5-minutes and served up all summer long.

Maroulosalata is a salad I’ve grown up on. My mom always made/makes this salad and it’s such a popular Greek dish that’s super simple to make (but tastes like a ton of effort went into it). Maroulosalata is a salad made with lettuce, cucumber, and fresh herbs. Combined with a super simple “dressing”. This seriously has got to be one of the easiest (but flavorful) salads you can make this summer.
