Mixed Greens with Preserved Lemon Dressing & Feta

Preserved lemon, with its salty sourness, is the driving force in this festive salad's dressing. Scoop out and discard the soft pulp and rinse the peels to get rid of any excess salt before mincing them. If you can't get Little Gem lettuce, use 8 cups of torn romaine hearts.
