Authentic Greek Salad

A greek salad compliments a wide variety of main dishes. Or, add a few grilled chicken strips on top for a complete meal.

Dressing Ingredients
1/2 Cup extra Virgin Olive Oil (Bertolli preferred)
2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
¼ Teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper
2 Tablespoons Dried Oregano, Crushed
¾ Teapoon Salt
1 Tablespoon grainy Dijon Mustard
1 pinch of Thyme

Salad Ingredients:
2 bunches of Romaine or other dark green lettuce.
1-2 Tomatoes if in season, quartered
2-3 chopped green onions
1 Cucumber sliced in rounds
1 Cup Crumbled Feta Cheese

Preparation:
In a bowl, wisk together dressing ingredients except olive oil until smooth. Gradually wisk in Olive Oil in a steady stream till thickened. Cover till ready to use. I like to prepare at least an hour ahead to let the ingredients reach maximum flavor.

Combine Salad Ingredients and pour Salad Dressing over top and mix . Add Crumbled Feta Cheese to complete

Serve with Garlic Toast to soak up the delicious dressing!
