This is better than the Greek salad in my favorite Greek restaurant. It is wonderful and the Greek black olives are perfect with it. It is a whole meal for me.

Good! I used basil instead of cilantro (my cilantro hadn't come up yet in our garden!). Also added some grilled salmon to make it a meal! Added some red onion & carrots to it as well.

I added salmon I had in the refrigerator as a leftover to this as well as the tomatoes, feta cheese, fresh parsley with the Light Green Goddess Salad Dressing. I didn't have cucumber or Greek olives but the next time I'll make sure I have those also. We enjoyed the salad as a main dish.
