The name of this recipe says it all as this is The Ultimate Greek Salad! This makes a nice large family salad that is enjoyed by all.
But even though this salad is Ultimate it’s not a true Greek salad. You never get lettuce of any kind in a salad in Greece!
We like lettuce in my family so I add it and I could literally drink this salad dressing.
