Recipe by BamaKathy

This is from a cookbook by Maya Angelou, adapted slightly to suit our family. I tried this with my husband and son and now have to regularly stock the ingredients as they request it at least once or twice a week. I've never had a salad this good.

DIRECTIONS

In a small pot, put raisins and enough water to cover.
Simmer for three minutes and then set aside to allow raisins to plump.
In large salad bowl (I use a wooden bowl), place oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and garlic.
Season with salt and pepper.
Mix well.
Tear lettuce into bite sized pieces and add to bowl.
Add drained raisins.
I use my hands to toss.
Sprinkle feta cheese on top and serve immediately.
