Traditional Greek Salad

Submitted by yellowDough

"The only thing I was determined to do after having had several traditional Greek salads while in Greece was to recreate it. They look so much more simpler than those served in some restaurants in England. The recreation is a success and is similar to the ones we had in Greece. It is absolutely delicious. Definitely a recommendation from me. Don't believe me? Try it!"

I crumbled the feta on top of the salad and didn't use as much onion as the recipe called for. Serve this salad with grilled flat bread and it is perfect.
