Greek Salad with homemade dressing

in , , ,

Greece is on my bucket list, but until that dream happens, I'll just keep eating greek salad. It's simple, can be lunch, dinner, or a side dish, and you can add or subtract so many things to make it exactly how you like it.  Plus, I am against bottled salad dressings for many reasons. Reason a. there's an awful lot of things I can't pronounce on the back for a vinegar based dressing(or an anything based dressing for that matter). Reason b. they are so easy to make with things already in your pantry, that there is no reason to buy it.  I can list more, but I won't bore you.  Here's my favorite salad of all time, I hope you enjoy it too!

It may look intimidating but I promise it isn't.
