Does anyone have an authentic recipe for Greek salad dressing?

Question

Not from a mix.

Answer 1

In Greece a true Greek salad is served without lettuce. Here is one that will lend itself well to cooked chicken, shrimp or even turkey sprinkled on top, which of coarse will not make it a true Greek salad lol!. This is my own recipe, I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does. This salad must be chilled for a minumum of 2 hours before serving, don't even bother eating it before the 2 hours, this salad will take on a whole different flavor when chilled!
The dressing ingredients may be doubled.

1 lb tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 large red bell pepper, sliced thinly
1-2 cup kalamata olives
1 small red onion, sliced thinly
6 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano (more if desired)
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1 teaspoon sugar
salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese (use more if desired)
fresh lemon juice




In a blender or using a whisk, mix together olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, Parmesan cheese (if using) salt and pepper, if needed add in 1 teaspoon sugar.
In a medium bowl place cucumbers, red bell pepper, olives, sliced red onion and about half of the feta cheese.
Pour the dressing over; toss well to combine, adding in more dried oregano if desired.
Cover and chill for 2 hours.
Top with remaining feta cheese then drizzle fresh lemon juice on top if desired before serving.
Delicious!
