"I like the use of cabbage instead of lettuce in this recipe, though if you prefer lettuce, by all means, sub-away. I also personally prefer lime juice to lemon, but I got this recipe from my Mom, & have posted it the way she gave it to me. Of course, there is always feta cheese to be considered..."

I used lettuce and added feta cheese, so my review is mostly for the dressing...I've been searching for a Greek salad dressing that wasn't too oily and this was PERFECT!! I will make this again and again. Thanks.

I live in Canada, and I work in the restaurant industry (not a chef!). Don't have a favorite cookbook, but I love these internet sites, (especially this one, where you can get the dietary info - that's cool). I'm pretty passionate about animals, and about my health, (regardless of what my beer and cigarette habit might say about me!). The majority of food I like to eat is vegetarian, if not, vegan. I am able to enjoy a good steak every now and again, however. As long as I don't have to cook it. (I hate cooking meat - makes such a mess...) I have recently had a month off - I took the time to backpack around Mexico by myself. Crazy? Nah. Well, maybe...
