The Ultimate Greek Salad

Excellent! Superb! I love this dressing and salad. I made as stated but increased the red wine vinegar to three tablespoons and added 1/2 teaspoon of sugar per other recipes I saw. Not too harsh and perfect for the salad. I used light feta in my version. If you are making a good sized salad it's a good idea to double the recipe so you have enough dressing. I'll use this recipe a lot, thanks for posting evelyn/athens!

I could literally drink this salad dressing, it is so good. I did add about 1/2 teaspoon salt to it, and in the salad I used half baby spinach, and I substituted fresh mozzarella for the feta. I love feta, but had just run out.

The name of this recipe says it all as this is The Ultimate Greek Salad! This makes a nice large family salad that was enjoyed by all. I made one small change in that I cut the olive oil in half as my lettuce was still fairly moist from washing, other than that made as written. We thought the garlic and oregano were the perfectly proportion to the other ingredients and DH who quite often does not like the stronger flavored onions thought the soaking did a nice job taking the edge off. Thanks for the post.

This was just what I was looking for. The only change I may make next time is to cut down on the garlic next time, as it was a little strong for my tastes. I will for sure be making this again and again!

I enjoyed the fresh lemon juice in the dressing. I too added a little sugar to my tastte. Thanks! Made for the best of 2010 recipe game.

The reviewers got me all hyped up but when it all comes down to it, this is just an average salad. It's good, but nothing to get your mouthwatering over. The dressing doesn't have much flavor. I'm thinking of adding in some juice from the olives. I do appreciate the salad recipe though. I like those ingredients in the salad, but really I don't understand the hype.

This salad is great. I whizzed up the dressing in my blender. I used dried tomatoes instead of fresh and left out the lettuce and used extra cucumber (just because that's what I had... not because I'm anti-lettuce or anything). I let everything marinade for a few hours before serving it. The dried tomatoes soaked up the dressing quite nicely. I'm sure this dressing would be great on all sorts of vegetables.

Made the dressing only...This was absolutely heavenly. The entire family has voted this our new favorite salad dressing! The first time I made it I made it exactly as written and it was delicious. The second time I added grated parmesan (the canned stuff) and then it was a very close duplicate of Olive Garden's house dressing. My suggestsion...use the red wine vinegar, don't substitute for another kind. I think this "makes" this dressing! Thanks, evelyn/athens!

I decided to use this recipe for visiting relatives, and am glad that I did. I made it to serve 8 people, exactly as written. I received compliments on the salad, and considered it a complete success. They are here for three weeks and will definitely be making this salad again. Thanks for posting it.

Salad perfection! Cut back heavily on the oil, you won't notice the difference. Used more vinegar too (it's the way I like it), otherwise no changes. Yes, of course we used lettuce! Oops, I did add 1 stalk celery that we had too. :)

Wonderful salad. It's so much better than those limp, watery salads offered by fast food restaurants here. I used romaine lettuce and it's perfect just as it's written. The only thing I would do differently is to use green olives in deference to DD and DH's tastes but I liked it this way. Made for ZWT6 SSaSSy's

I loved this!! The only thing I didn't do was add the green pepper (personal preference), and I made the salad for one person. I went ahead and made all the dressing though, and saved some for another salad later. This was so good and easy to throw together -- thank you!!!

Amazing! Even DH -who thinks lemon juice and is olive oil are the only ingredients in a salad dressing - enjoyed it. I used ground oregano,so the kids couldn't fish it out. Made for zwt 6 and will make this a lot of times from now on.

This is a great Greek salad for those times when you get tired of only tomatoes, cucumber, and onions for the vegetable part of it. Tasted great! Thanks! Made for ZWT6 - LOONEY SPOON PHOODIES!

My BIL said this is the best salad he has ever eaten! I left out the lettuce as we only had leaf and it would get soggy as well as the olives (yuck!). I also cut the recipe in half as it was just us three adults and 2 kids under age 3. I will probably try this again but with the lettuce as well :) I served this with Greek Potatoes (Oven-Roasted and Delicious!) and Pork Souvlaki. Thanks for another great recipe!

Great salad. I left out the romaine lettuce as authentic Greek salad does not have that in it and it was amazingly good. Had to definitely add more Oregano, about 1 Tbsp and about a heavy 1/2 tsp salt and heavy 1/4 tsp pepper. Sprinkled some granulated garlic in as well which added the right amount of flavor. My boyfriend absolutely loved it and asks for it repeatedly...and he was not to stoked about the onions before trying it...then after no complaints at all.
