Best Ever Greek Salad
Greek salad is always a crowd pleaser. This super simple Greek dressing comes together with just a few items from your fridge and pantry. Trust me, your guests will be asking for the recipe.

In my opinion, salad should be less lettuce and more of the good stuff . So this Greek salad recipe is just that, more tomatoes, cucumber, onion, kalamata olives and feta of course!
