Thank-you I enjoyed your salad for lunch! although it may be sacrilege I added sliced radishes and sliced celery to the salad. MMmmmmm

Excellent! I did not put the capers because I forgot, and since this was used as a side dish, I left out the lettuce. I used champagne vinegar with a splash of balsamic and plenty of dried oregano. The dressing was so simple but very tasty! I'm not a fan of olives, but they worked really well in this salad. Also, my 9 year old daughter said that this was the first time bell peppers have tasted good (I used a red one). This, from a kid who has tried to get out of eating them in virtually every stir fry or salad I've put them in, was a huge surprise. All of the ingredients work well to balance each other out and create a very flavorful and satisfying mix.

This was the best Greek salad ever. I never liked Greek salad from grocery store deli sections because they tasted too much like water and vinegar. This recipe made me a convert!

First time I have ever made Greek salad and it was delicious. Westarted with the salad and our main entree was Salmon Chowder.

Refreshing, crunchy and deliciousness packed into a salad that I could eat every day of the week and never get sick of it. The balsamic vinegar was a great touch! I will be having this salad a lot in the future. Thank you!
