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?

A delicious dressing served over Greek Salad or over pasta. A very versatile dressing! A good marinade, too. Dressing is meant to be a little tart with a good olive oil flavor.

LUSCIOUS GREEK SALAD

Luscious Greek Salad image

My version of Greek Salad. Sometimes two of us share this for dinner with homemade garlic bread. It's great for lunch, too. We love it! This salad really shows off a high quality olive oil! I have also made this with tender butter lettuce instead of the romaine. So good!

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt
pepper
1/2 head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced, then cut slices into 3 pieces
1/3 cucumber, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
3 green onions or 1/4 red onion, sliced
1 medium tomatoes, cut in wedges then cut wedges in half

1/3-1/2 cup pitted kalamata olive
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

Place the Dijon mustard in a small bowl and add the lemon juice. Mix this well with a fork.
Slowly pour in the olive oil while you keep mixing briskly with the fork. (You want to achieve a little emulsification.) Then add salt and pepper to taste. Be a little stingy with the salt as you are going add lots of salty feta cheese and Kalamata olives to the salad.
Dip a piece of the lettuce into the dressing to see if the dressing is to your liking. If not, make adjustments now.
Place the romaine lettuce in a large salad bowl. Add the other vegetables and avocado, then top with the Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese.
Pour the dressing on top and lightly toss the salad.
