When you get tired of the cost of the wonderful Greek salads, learn to make your own! Not so hard and you will be able to tweak it like you like it.
Wash and shred romaine lettuce. Slice ripe tomatos, cucumber chunks, kalamata olives (oh, find the ones marinating in red wine), feta cheese, red onion slices and a pepperocino or other pickled hot pepper. Make a dressing out of 1/3 part olive oil, 1 tsp. fresh or dried oregano, 2/3 parts red wine vinegar, a bit of salt and fresh ground pepper. We like to set up all matching salads and let everyone shake and pour their dressing at the last moment.
