Classic Greek Salad
"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."

directions

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.
