Ingredients
  

SALAD:

  • 1 head romaine or red or green leaf lettuce or a couple of bags of pre-washed
  • 6-8 roma tomatoes sliced
  • 1 large cucumber sliced
  • 1 green pepper diced, any color will do
  • 1/4 red onion thinly sliced and separated into rings
  • 1/2 to 2/3 cup ripe Kalimati olives drained
  • 1/2 to 1 cup pepperocinis drained (I usually use the sliced salad pepper rings)
  • 1/2-1 lb. feta cheese we like a lot and use more than the original recipe calls for

GREEN SALAD DRESSING:

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup sugar or honey
  • 1/4 cup parsley
  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • 1 tsp. basil
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

Instructions
 

SALAD:

  • Layer in above order.
  • Add the dressing and pour over salad just before serving.

GREEK SALAD DRESSING:

  • Stir to combine.
  • Toss with salad before serving.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Stir REALLY well before serving as this dressing separates.

Notes

NOTE: If you like a sweeter salad dressing, increase the sugar to 1/2 cup.
NOTE: I use honey regularly instead of sugar in the dressing and it works exceptionally well.
NOTE: If you're not going to eat all the salad at once, just drizzle salad dressing over individual plates.
