Dad’s Greek Salad
The heart of a Greek salad recipe is in the olives, feta, cucumbers and tomatoes. Dress it with olive oil and vinegar, then add more olives and cheese. —Arge Salvatori, Little Ferry, New Jersey

I love this type of said. A great lunch with a crusty bun. Delicious. Janet VFE
Great salad - very refreshing and delicious. I had alot of romaine lettuce in the fridge, so I chopped some up and added it to the salad. Everything else remained the same, except I did double the dressing and added a touch more vinegar and a pinch of sugar. We loved this and will keep this recipe on hand, especially in the summer when tomatoes and cucumbers are plentiful! Great salad that would go well with any main dish!
Really good but need to tweak the seasonings a bit for my family as we like things more spicy. Will definitely make often this summer as the flavors are wonderful together.
Very fresh and delicious flavors! Loved it!
I didn't have tomatoes! I'd used 2 thinly sliced REGULAR cukes, about 3/4 cup thinly sliced radishes, 1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning, 1 small red onion, thinly sliced, 1/4 tsp. salad seasoning instead of salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and LESS feta cheese since I'm the only one eating this salad. I think this recipe is wonderful! I admit that I am NOT an olive fan! I omitted the olives called for in the recipe! The dressing made for a tangy, tasty addition to this colorful salad! Thank you, Arge Salvatori, for sharing this recipe from your Dad! This is a recipe I plan to use often-I love the flavor! delowenstein

Delicious. Thank you, Arge, for sharing your dad's recipe.
I am a fan of feta and it drew the fkavors together in this salad really well!
We thoroughly enjoyed this salad! It is very flavorful. Love oregano dressings and the feta was just right. Colorful, too. This is a keeper!
