    Greek meets Caesar!  The feta in this, otherwise traditional Greek Salad, is in the creamy dressing so you get some with every bite!

    Greek Salad with Creamy Feta Dressing

    I used fresh garlic from my garden so it was quite tangy and pungent and garlicky! A friend of mine got me hooked on growing my own fresh garlic. 

    North American Greek salads usually have a lot of cucumber, red onion and sometimes peppers but this one has only tomatoes and black olives and lettuce in the salad.  It is excellent the way it is so if you are getting to the bottom of your produce drawer you can make this with just a few ingredients.  Having said that - there is no reason not to add cucumber and red onion if you are so inclined.

    The dressing has milk or cream, oil, vinegar, lemon, garlic, feta and parmesan!  I found that serving it with a lemon wedge brightened it up and cut the thickness of the dressing a bit as well. You don't need to add salt since the cheeses are already salty enough.

    This salad an be made year round but it really  shines in the summer when tomatoes are at their freshest.

    Serve with Chicken with Roasted Lemons , Green Olives and Capers.
