Recipe: Greek Salad with Lemon Dressing (ADA recipe)

Salads - Vegetables
GREEK SALAD

"Greek salad, a combination of fresh raw vegetables dressed with a lemony vinaigrette and topped with olives, feta cheese, and chick-peas, can be served as a hearty first course or, with the addition of a few more ounces of feta, used as a refreshing main course, especially in summer when all the ingredients are at their peak. A fruity extra virgin olive will add its own special character to the salad."

FOR THE SALAD:
1 medium head lettuce, washed and torn into bite-size pieces
2 medium tomatoes, cut in eighths
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
3 green onions with green tops, sliced
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
3 radishes, sliced
1 medium carrot, shredded
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

FOR THE DRESSING:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

FOR THE TOPPINGS:
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
16 Greek olives
2 tablespoons canned chick-peas, rinsed and drained
8 anchovies, drained (optional)*

Combine all the salad ingredients in a large salad bowl. Toss to mix.

Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle over the salad and toss again.

Garnish the top of the salad with crumbled cheese, olives, and chick-peas. Add anchovies if desired.
