This refreshing Greek salad comes from the typical greek cuisine. It is made with Feta cheese, olives, and oregano. It is definitely one of my favorites salads since it can be used as a side dish or for dinner or lunch.

Serves 8

 

Ingredients:

– 2 heads of Romaine Lettuce, washed and chopped

– 1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick

For the dressing:

– 1/2 cup of olive oil

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and bell peppers.

3. In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix well.
