They have, however, gotten to be very pricey!! So I set about
making my own!!
I LOVE Greek salad and looked online for a recipe for the vinaigrette.
I knew what to put in it the salad, just needed a good dressing.
Well I found it and Sunday evening this was our dinner:
It was sooo wonderful!
We all like different things in ours,
so I put the lettuce, feta and salami in
each bowl and had the other ingredients
in separate bowls so we could make it
our way.
The basics of the Greek Salad we love are:
Shredded Boston lettuce
Good quality salami (I used DiLusso Genoa from WalMart. Better
flavor than Boar's Head and no MSG!)
(1/4" thick slices cut in 1" lengths)
Crumbled feta cheese
Kalamata olives (these were presliced)
Thinly sliced cucumber
Thinly sliced red (purple) onion
The vinaigrette recipe I used
1/2 c red wine vinegar
1 large clove minced garlic
2 T minced fresh parsley
1T dried oregano leaves
1/4 t salt (or to taste)
1/4 t cracked pepper
2/3 c Extra Virgin Olive Oil
I added:
2 T lemon juice
2 T sugar
Shake together all ingredients except olive
oil to blend. Then add oil, shake til blended
and use to taste.

Use the dressing sparingly. A little goes far!
I made garlic wedges from fresh "Everything" bread
and garnished my salad with freshly ground pepper.
YUM YUM!!
Let me know if you try it!!
More giveaway later this evening!
Love you lots!!
