Greek Salad

Dresssing

1 cup olive oil (can reduce to 3/4 cup)
2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
About 1/4 cup of redwine vinegar.
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Thin with a little warm water if the taste is good but the dressing is too thick

For the salad:
2 romaine lettuce chopped
3 plum tomato cut in wedges (use Roma tomatoes)
1 english cucumber (peeled, seeded and chopped)
1 red onion cut in slices
1 green bell pepper (optional, seeded and cut into rings or sliced)
1/2 lb feta cheese crumbled (or to taste)
1 cup kalamata olive

This, like the salad nicoise, is a great salad. It is flavorful and refreshing. I added capers to this recipe simply because I like them. I also added scallions and red bell pepper. It is a good idea not to deviate too much from this recipe though. It is a classic dish and should not be tampered with.

I had a bowl of split pea soup with this and it was all I needed.
