Yummy! The dressing was perfect. The only change I made was using kalamata olives, as they truly kick that Greek taste into gear! Thank you for this recipe!
A great salad! I much preferred this romaine over our usual iceberg lettuce.
Very tasty, tart. For my own taste, I added a bit of sugar and it was delicious.
I used white wine vinegar instead of red. It came out great.
I never write reviews, but I had to for this one because I make this salad often and it is a true crowd pleaser! EVERYONE loves this salad. The homemade dressing is truly what makes it pop. And so easy! I highly recommend
Very good dressing and salad
Chicken and feta burgers with this salad and tzatziki was delicious!!
Kept it the same
I was looking for a Greek inspired salad that incorporated lettuce and found this one was delicious. I put the dressing on the side and used sparingly and used butter leaf lettuce. Great recipe
best best thing ever its just great
We prepared this salad for our neighbor’s Labor Day BBQ. Everyone attending enjoyed it quite a bit! Unfortunately, our neighbors daughter Catherine got sick after eating what we think was a tainted piece of lettuce. Maybe I should have forgone it and went more authentic with just tomato and cucumber. She was supposed to start school this week and I just feel so bad! No one’s fault, just bad luck. I would substitute for Kalamata olives as well.
Delicious,Beautiful,Easy and dressing is Great!
Would change a thing, excellent recipe!
I made it for a potluck. Everyone really enjoyed it.
The dressing is the best!
Yum everyone loved it!!!
Appreciate the tip on the vinegar going first!
We liked this recipe but authentic Greek salad does not use any type of lettuce.
This is the best recipe ever! We even tried replacing the lettuce with pasta to make a pasta salad and it was still really good. We do like to use less olive oil than the recipe calls for (half the oil).
Loved it! I halved the salad too, only 2 of us and added grilled chicken. For the dressing, I used 3/4 cup oil, 1/4 cup water, substituted 2T cider vinegar for 2 of the red vinegar and added a little stevia since my favorite restaurant makes a slightly sweet Greek dressing. Perfect, thanks for the recipe.
Great salad! I looked through a bunch of the Greek salads and chose this one. I’m glad I did. Exactly what I was looking for.
