Be prepared for the best Greek salad on the planet! --- plan ahead the dressing needs at least 2 or more hours to blend the flavors, I sometimes add in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese to the dressing for a more cheesy dressing, all amounts may be adjusted to taste --- you will also find this posted here http://kittencalskitchen.com/2009/04/13/kittens-famous-greek-salad/ ---also see my Kittencal's Creamy Greek Feta Salad Dressing

Fantastic! I had a Greek Salad at a resturant recently and now I am addicted to Greek food. Found your recipe and now I can eat it home too! Thanks!

Great Greek Salad! I've made it twice now and each time, it was eaten up! I added a can of artichokes and some genoa salami into the mix to make it a complete meal for my family of 6. Thanks!

I made this today leaving out the Romaine and instead turned it into a pasta salad using tri-color Rotini. It was fabulous and the dressing was out of this world. A definite keeper! I love Greek food and worked in a Greek restaurant for years and the dressing was very authentic and tasted fresh and wonderful! I'm going to make it with the romaine next time.

I have also used this recipe; however I have adjusted it a little bit, by adding 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper and 1/2 teaspoon Sugar to add a wonderful smooth taste that is out of this world.
