Greek Village Salad
My inspiration for this salad came from a holiday potluck. I enjoyed it the way it was served, but you could even make a version of this without the romaine.
What You’ll Need to Make Greek Style Salad
How to Make Greek Style Salad
Simply arrange all the ingredients in a large serving bowl. Season with salt, pepper and oregano.
Make the salad dressing.
Serve the dressing on the side or pour it in and mix before serving.
Note: If you think, you will have leftovers, I would recommend not adding the dressing to the salad, as the salad will not keep as well.
