Greek salad is a simple salad that does not have lettuce.  It is simply known as “the Greek” or “village” salad.  The key is the freshest possible ingredients some Greek kalamata olives and some great Greek olive oil.  Salads are served with nearly every meal in Greece, they are wonderful tasting and part of good healthy diet.  Oh and don’t forget the Feta, YUM!
