Classic Greek Salad

Friends who are foodies are the best. Especially if they are passionate and willing to share a little of what they have learned.

Years ago I was lucky enough to meet and work for Jim and Cheryl. Before I met them they owned a very popular Greek restaurant that had quite the following- especially for the Greek salad they served. They had long since sold that restaurant when they hired me to cater an event at their home- but were still very specific about having “their” Greek salad served. Fortunately they taught me exactly how to make it.

For the 15 plus year since their event this has continued to be a favorite recipe. I have taught their romaine cutting technique at many classes and have had other food writers positively gush about learning it from me. Though I appreciate the accolades- Cheryl taught me the trick and it is only fair to give her the glory.

The Salad- before tossing

I love that this recipe can all be made in one bowl! It is a cinch to put all of this together and many people comment that it really is a delicious salad. If you happen to have grilled chicken or shrimp they both pair nicely with the other ingredients to create a complete meal.
