"If you are a lover of Greek salad and Greek food then this is one you will love, once you make this a few times you will most likely need to play around with the dressing ingredient to suit taste, I have listed 1/3 cup mayonnaise to be added to the dressing you may need to adjust the mayonnaise amount to desired creaminess after the salad is mixed. Plan ahead this salad needs to chill for at least 4 hours before serving"
