Kenneth's Greek Salad

Submitted by Tandy Higgins

"Our bunco group always loves to gather at Maxine's house. The food is always superb. Little did we know that she was having her husband do all the work, then leave the house before we arrived. Just in case someone made rave reviews, she could take all the glory. This is the recipe where we discovered that Kenneth was the one actually doing ALL the work! Thanks Kenneth-you're wonderful!!!"

Oh this is good! I LOVE the dressing! I didn't have feta cheese or greek olives on hand. I think it would be better with them though. So I used mozzerella cheese and plain black olives. The dressing is delish though. Very fast tasty salad! Thank you so much and would make again! Made for Fall PAC 2008
