Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 4 Romaine lettuce hearts, leaves torn into bite-size pieced
  • 2 cups feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 cucumbers, Japanese, seedless, chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, preferably heirloom, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1/2 cup green olives, pitted
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini (I added this option, as I can't imagine not including it in a Greek Salad)
  • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place the lettuce on a large, deep oval serving platter. Arrange the cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, onion, and olives in rows on top of the lettuce.

  • Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and vinegar; season with salt and pepper to taste, then drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad. Serve immediately.

  • NOTE: The key here is to use good quality ingredients - perfectly ripe tomatoes, good feta and olives, and a high quality cold pressed olive oil. You can arrange this spectacular - looking salad on the platter up to an hour in advance, then dress it right before serving; just be sure to tear the lettuce rather than cut it with a metal knife so the edges don't turn brown.
