This was ok but just did not have any zing to it. I followed other people's advice and did add some sugar and a little red wine vinegar to the recipe. It wasn't a disaster, but not something I will make again

Great salad, nice and light dressing. My whole family ate it we will make this anytime we need a side with our gyros or it can be a meal in itself.

I'm glad to have tried this, but will most likely seek out other dressing recipes as this was quite bland(as noted by several other reviewers). I did like it's simplicity, though. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Now THIS is salad and just the way I like it, with simple, classic Mediterranean ingredients and a refreshing, understated, light vinaigrette. I detest heavy salad dressings, or those vinaigrettes heavy in vinegar. This is perfect, and one I'll be making routinely. I thought I had a cuke in the fridge but it turned out to be a zucchini, which worked out beautifully anyway. I used Kalamata olives rather than black, but I'm sure the black olives would have been just as delicious. I like a 3:1 ratio of oil/acid in my vinaigrettes, so I used 6 T. of olive oil and 2 T. of lemon juice. "Cold and crunchy" foods are generally not my thing, but this is simply outstanding!

What a wonderful greek salad! A few things I've added or changed: instead of just romaine lettuce, I used an herb mix salad which consisted of a mixture of romaine lettuce, cilantro, dill, arugula lettuce, etc; I omitted the tomatoes; and I also added shredded carrots and two cucumbers instead of one. For the dressing, I didn't have a lemon so instead I used 2 limes. I also added in oregano, 3 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar and 3 tablespoons of sugar. You can add more sugar, lime juice, oregano, and/or rice vinegar to taste. Then add in some kalamata olives and sprinkle with some feta cheese! This is great, especially as a refreshing summer salad!

Meh. Dressing is definitely missing something. Real Greek salad does not contain lettuce...I'll skip this one next time.

Beautiful colored salad. Dressing very bland. Ended up adding sugar, italian seasoning mix (oregano, rosemary, basil) garlic and red wine vinegar.

Made as-is, the dressing is missing something (hence, 3 stars). But, I followed the review by Suzy and some others, and I thought that with the additions, the dressing was great! I added 3 Tb red wine vinegar, 1 Tb sugar, an extra 1 tsp oregano, 1 clove minced garlic, plus 1/2 tsp garlic salt. After adding all that, I almost forgot to add in the lemon juice and pepper-- don't forget! I used lots of veggies and a full cup of feta...Very good...I could've eaten the whole bowl!

We all LOVE greek salad in my family, extended included. I've been making it for almost 30 years, saw a Greek chef making it, no measurements...some of this and some of that, same as this recipe as far as ingreds. go. The only thing different she added was red wine vinegar but also fresh lemon juice. NOT green olives or sugar! Thanks for posting a great recipe!

Tasty and easy to throw together, but it just doesn't taste like restaurant-style greek salads... If you're looking for a better dressing, try Absolutely Fabulous Greek/House Dressing (from this site).

Delicious! I changed a bit. Took out the peppers and onions and instead of making my own dressing, I used a ready made Greek Vinagrette. I also added marinated artichokes.

Wow! This was a surprise hit. I tossed this together last minute and turned out a beautiful and delicious cool summer salad. I used onion powder since I was out of onion, kalamata olives, diced up my cucumber, left out the bell peppers, and used mint intead of oregano and tossed on a pinch of kosher salt. Served this on red lettuce leaf for a beautiful presentation. I am still surprised my household of guys loved this. Thanks for the great recipe!

Very Good! I didn't think the dressing was going to work when I tried a dab after making it. But when it mixes up with everything else in the salad it was just right. I did add a bit of sugar though. I was a bit confused because when I skimmed the reviews someone added more sugar. In any case the end result was what I was looking for. Thanks!
