I’ve always thought that I hated Greek salads. Every time I’d go to a restaurant to order a salad, the Greek one would always get overlooked. I don’t know why. It was never “my style” of food.

But with all the salads I’ve been consuming left and right this month, I thought I should give the Greek salad thing a second chance. I mean, with crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbly goat cheese on a bed of fresh romaine, what could go wrong?

Nothing! Absolutely nothing went wrong. In fact, this has ironically become one of my favorite salads! It really doesn’t take much to put together and with a tangy, sweet lemon vinaigrette, it’s absolute perfection.
