Classic Greek Salad

Chez CC's Note:

I got this recipe from a short Greek guy who ran a small restaurant at my college that we frequented. I am using the same ingrediants that he used in his salad and the same dressing and I get compliments all the time.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

Salad

• 4 cups romaine lettuce , torn
• 2 medium tomatoes , cut into wedges
• 5 green onions , chopped
• 8 ounces feta cheese , crumbled
• 10 pepperoncini peppers
• ¼ cup kalamata olive
• 2 pita bread rounds

Dressing

• 1⁄3; cup white vinegar
• 2⁄3; cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon oregano (or more to taste)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper (or more to taste)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions:

1. Mix the dressing. Mix the salad ingredients and toss with dressing to coat. Serve with toasted pita bread.
2. Optionally, include a cucumber either sliced (I peel leaving stripes of green and then slice, looks pretty). Can substitute pimento stuffed salad olives. For best results use sheep's milk feta.

I'm so pleased I found this while checking out recipes for the "New Kids on the Block" tag game. This was so Greek--read as "SO GOOD!" As much as I love Greek salads, I probably never would have stepped out on the limb and actually bought the ingredients to make one had I not been playing New Kids on the Block. I didn't care for the dressing at all. Too much oregano for my taste, even though I had cut it way back. The salad itself was superb! Thank you for sharing, Chez CC.
