Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium-sized nice and ripe tomatoes
1/2 cucumber
1/2 red onion

THE ULTIMATE GREEK SALAD



The Ultimate Greek Salad image

This is the most delicious salad - fresh and wonderful-tasting. FYI, lettuce can very much be a part of any greek salad - if you want it to. We like lettuce in my family and I often add it. It would not be 'authentic' in a Horiatiki (village) salad, but who cares?
