Notes

Basic greek salad to serve as a side to just about anything, pizza, gyros, steak, fish, etc.
Once can add julienned luncheon meats, (ham, salami, etc) and freshly grated cheeses to make this a full entree. One can also add other types of olives for texture and variety, take note of the salt content of brined olives and adjust seasoning accordingly
I am known to top each plate with pickled pepperoncini, and onions for an extra fresh and zippy taste.
