Going Greek

A traditional Greek salad is one that is rustic. It is made with chopped cucumbers, chopped tomatoes, green peppers and feta cheese, good olives and a wonderful oregano vinaigrette.

I made a more formal version and served it on mixed greens.
Tomatoes are out of season, so I used cherry tomatoes, which worked out just great.

Also, for extra goodness, I added dolmas, which are grape leaves, rolled and stuffed with cooked rice.

This was a good detox dinner after all the holiday goodies I have been eating.

Going Greek Salad:

ripe tomatoes, quartered
green peppers, sliced thin
red onion slices
kalamata olives
feta cheese, crumbled
dolmas (optional)

Vinaigrette: (I never measure, make enough for the amount of salad you are serving)

red wine vinegar
fresh lemon juice
tsp of minced garlic
Tbsp dried oregano
salt & pepper
olive oil

Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.



Place all of your salad components in a bowl and mix with vinaigrette.
Place on top of mixed greens and serve!
