Greek Village Salad

Living just three hours away from Chicago, I have visited the Windy City no less than 40-50 times in my 35 years of life. Of course, as any foodie knows, no trip to Chicago is complete without a meal in Greektown.

To compliment the silky egg lemon soup (avgolemono) and mouth-watering fried cheese (saganaki), we would always order a large platter of the classic Greek village salad. Made with large chunks of juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers and creamy feta cheese, what makes this salad unique is that it doesn’t contain any lettuce. Just the good stuff!

  4. The Greek restaurant I go to always puts lettuce in their salad, but that’s probably because is cheaper to make it that way. Unfortunately I don’t remember what was in the Greek salad we had on Santorini. From what I’ve learned, though, your recipe is the real deal. I like having access to authentic recipes like this.
