Greek Salad - Recipe of theme for the month

Our local Greek gyro place makes a wonderful salad with no lettuce that I just adore.  The vegetables are served with a great Greek dressing. This is my version of that salad. 

Greek Salad

2 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges, or 8 cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

1 small red onion, cut into thin wedges

1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (2 ounces) 

1 recipe Greek Vinaigrette

2 small pita bread rounds, cut into wedges (optional)

 In a salad bowl combine salad greens, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, and crumbled cheese. Add Greek Vinaigrette, toss to coat. If desired, serve with pita bread wedges. Makes 2 meal salads or 3 to 6 side-dish servings

Greek Vinaigrette

2 tablespoons olive oil or salad oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons snipped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

In a screw top jar combine olive oil or salad oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cover and shake well.
