Mediterranean Greek Salad

Classic Mediterranean salad. Fresh and delicious. I prefer to remove the skins from the cucumbers.

I was looking to make a different kind of Greek salad since I make one at least once a month in the summer as it is. However when I make mine, I use just plain vinegar. By adding red wine vinegar in this salad, it gave it a great tangy pop and I love the addition of the sun dried tomatoes. However, I still wanted to make it more Mediterranean, sort of like the med salads I have had in restaurants. So, keeping everything the same with the exception of the oil from the sun dried tomatoes (I used a good quality Greek olive oil instead) and adding a tbsp of red wine vinegar; I also used a heaping tbsp of Greek seasoning (an essential Greek spice in any kitchen) and I chopped up two romaine hearts lettuce. I mixed all the veggies, seasoning and lettuce together before I crumbled the feta on top. It was Out of this World. A great base recipe with a little pizzazz added is well worth the small effort to make this.

Very good, no changes needed except to use kalamata olives and feta just before serving.
