When it comes to salads, I don’t think there’s anything more beautiful than a classic Greek salad. The classic Greek contains no lettuce; this allows the beautiful jewel tones of the vegetables to shine through. There’s not much to it, really, a bit of chopping of fresh vegetables, tossed with the traditional Greek dressing, and you have an elegant side dish, or a delicious and nutritious meal.
