Greek Salad

I know it's not a classic Greek salad ingredient, but I wish I added some sliced mild banana peppers. Next time for sure...

Ingredients:
1 head romaine lettuce
2 medium tomato's
1 large cucumber
Red onion sliced thin
1 cup Kalamata olives, pit removed, 6 olives reserved for the dressing
Diced Feta cheese
2 cloves minced garlic
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
Grind of salt and pepper
Lemon

Preparation:

Wash and dry the lettuce in your salad spinner. Cut the romaine lettuce into bite size pieces and add to a large salad bowl. Cut the tomato's into 6 wedges each and then cut each wedge in half and add to the salad bowl. Peel and remove the seeds from the cucumber, dice into large pieces and add to the salad bowl. Add the onion slices, Kalamata olives and Feta to the salad bowl.

 

To make the salad dressing, combine the olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, minced Kalamata olives, sugar, salt and pepper in a bowl or shaker. Whisk or shake until the ingredients are well combined.

 

To serve, place a portion of salad on a serving plate, squeeze on some fresh lemon and finish with a grind of fresh ground pepper.
