Who Has A Great Greek Salad Recipe?

[Stoli]

I am interested in your dressing recipe as well as the ingredients for the salad. I am thinking of a main course/meal type salad. If you serve meat or something in it or with it, I would be interested in that as well. Gotta have the Kalamata Olives and Feta Cheese (unless you know of a better substitute. I have made them a few times but I figure you chef types probably know some tricks that I do not.:thk:

I like salads during hot weather and Greek is hard to beat. The Mediterranean eating habits are supposed to be good for you with the fresh vegetables, olive oil, etc.

I'm working on one. The Regas house dressing was a modified Greek dressing. I should have it in a week, and will post it on the board.

We used to have a friend that worked for JFG that would bring us a gallon of that shit at a time. I should have saved some to send to the lab, now I got to start from scratch. It was the best I've ever had.

Simple: About 3/4c lemon juice, finely chopped fresh thyme, finely chopped fresh parsley, very little finely chopped oregano (more if you like oregano...I'm just not a big fan) a tsp dijon mustard and olive oil. Salt and pepper.

I like all of that stuff but have never used thyme or mustard in it before. Noted for next Greek Salad.

If you were adding a meat to this salad, what would be ??authentic?

I keep thinking sundried fish (not necessarily sardines).

Meat is not typical. Some people add a few dolmades but more common is a spoonful of potato salad. I've never seen anchovies on a greek salad. I guess the feta acts as the protein.
