This is the most delicious salad - fresh and wonderful-tasting.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Dressing

6 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano (Mediterranean is best)

Salad

1 head lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces ((I use Romaine)
3 large plum tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 English cucumber, peeled and coarsely chopped (the long, thin, almost seedless ones)
1 medium red onion, cut into thin rings and soaked for 10 minutes in a small bowl of ice water to make it less sharp
1 small green pepper, cut into thin rings
3/4 cup kalamata olive
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

1
Whisk dressing ingredients together until blended.
2
Season to taste.
3
Drain onion from ice water and pat dry with paper towels.
4
Combine all salad ingredients, except cheese, in large bowl.
5
Toss with dressing.

Terrific salad! I must confess that I didn't have any kalamatas on hand (is that a prosecutable offense in Greece??) but I followed the rest of this to a T. Loved the dressing--quite tart but really nice Will be having this again!

I made this for a girl's night tea party I held at my home. It was very good. The only thing I did different is to add a little salt to the dressing. My friend's loved it! Great recipe!
