True Greek Salad

Serves 4

The true traditional Greek salad is served without lettuce greens. This variation is one of the dishes that I took home from my recent trip to the Greek islands. Every restaurant on “Souvlaki Row” in Athens offers an interpretation of the super-fresh and flavorful salad.
