Everyone knows how to make a Greek Salad but sometimes it’s just good to be reminded of the ingredients. I served this Greek salad recently with my Skewer-less Greek Souvlaki, a perfect pairing.
Tip : If you don't like the raw taste or smell of the onion, place the sliced onion into a small dish and cover in either red or white vinegar. The vinegar will remove both but leave the onion crunchy.

Author Notes
If you make Souvlaki and have marinade left over, you can easily use it as a the Souvlaki Marinade as the dressing for Greek Salad. I did, and I thought it was delicious.
