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.
