It's All Greek to Me.. (Greek Salad)

On my quest to re-create dishes from my favorite restaurants in the big city, I couldn't leave out this wonderful Greek Salad.

My BFF Marlene and I often went to our favorite seafood restaurant just to eat their Greek Salad.
It was special.. the waiter would prepare it table-side with great flair.
This Greek dressing is a little more tart than others.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
