Excellent Greek Salad. I agree I like it without the letttuce. I found your instructions a bit vague I had no problem following them but I have made many Greek salads but for some one new to cooking I think they would be difficult to follow. I believe your intent is to allow each of us to match the recipe to suit our taste buds, right? I found that vinegar & lemon would be too strong so I used only lemon juice. Next time I will add 2 anchovie fillets. Thanks, Friedel, the salad was enjoyed by all

This was absolutely delicious. I was looking for something to use feta cheese in (a new cheese for me) and this recipe sounded really good. I watched with trepidation as my husband dished some up, then with relief when he continued eating after the first bite. This was so awesome; he went back for seconds and wanted more, but realized if he didn't stop there wouldn't be any for me to pack in his lunch tomorrow. I had to leave the cucumber out because I went out to the garden only to find the chickens had wiped out my cucumbers, plants and all. This will definitely be served in our house in the future. Thanks for posting this recipe Friedel!

I worked in a Greek restaurant for years and this is very similar to the one they made minus the celery. Very refreshing, healthy, and easy. Thanks for sharing.

Delicious and healthy! I added freshly ground black pepper, but next time might add some oregano also.

Excellent! I made this as part of our dinner last night. I had to used black pitted olives out of the can due to have younger kids in the house - but we all enjoyed it very much! I served it with pita, hummus and the recently posted Greek Souvlaki recipe. A great meal!

WOW! I never realized that this is greek salad! This is one of my childhood favorites! My father makes this every summer when the garden is ready. The only thing that we did not put in was the olives, because we forgot to buy some. Thanks for posting this!!!!!

I LOVE this type of salad! I am growing to like this type over the typical lettuce type! I always throw a split garlic clove in with my olive oil, so I thought this had plenty flavor. I also liked adding celery, some of the ones I've tried don't have celery in them. Great variation! Thank you for sharing! LA

We went to Greece on our honeymoon and I fell in love with the salad. This was close but, I swiched out the celery for english cucumber and use imported pitted calamata olives. They can be found in the salad/olive bar at the grocery.

This was great! I just got back from Greece, and this was very similar to what we were served in the tavernas we ate at (I don't remember if there was celery though)Thank you for this recipe, it reminds me of my trip!
