Greek Salad Without Lettuce Recipe

Do you ever get sick of eating lettuce? I do as practically every night we have a salad with dinner. Even when I make a pasta or potato salad or coleslaw my husband still wants a lettuce salad. Finally I found a salad to make that does not contain lettuce and it actually satisfied him.

This is basically a Greek Salad but the dressing is not authentic. I used sweet white onions rather than the red onions. I made this salad for dinner the other night to go with a pork recipe that I found here on HubPages along with brown rice and Mediterranean vegetables.

You will find the link for the pork recipe at the bottom of the page.

• 1 Field cucumber peeled and sliced
• 2 Large tomatoes chopped
• 1 White sweet onion
• ¼ cup of sliced black olives
• ½ Green pepper sliced

• Peperoncini Peppers

• 4 TBS Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 TBS Red wine vinegar
• 2 Large cloves of garlic pressed
• 1 Pinch of oregano
• 2 TBS Fresh lemon juice
• 1 Dash of hot pepper sauce

1. In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the salad dressing and whisk.
2. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

1. In a serving bowl combine onion slices, cucumber, tomatoes, black olives, feta cheese and green pepper slices.
