This dressing is the best!
Better than the best Greek restaurant!
Great!!
Staple in my house
Salad is very good but the herbs are too over powering. I think I’ll just leave that step out next time. Maybe put a little bit of dried oregano in the dressing.
I added grilled chicken and it was divine!
DELISH – a definate make again recipe. WOW’d the guests we had. I didn’t use the grape leaves. Just threw everything else into the bowl.
Delish! Just like a restaurant salad.
This salad is fabulous…I used only chopped mint as the herb with an additional 1/4 cup of oregano. Also I went with the olives, but finely diced one pepper and mixed in salad. You must try….great.
