Best-Ever Greek Salad

There are many ways to make Greek Salad. This one’s my very favorite - with a dressing that’s exactly perfect! I recently doubled the recipe and took it to a dinner party for 10 people; there weren’t many leftovers! 

Best-Ever Greek Salad:

To Prepare the Salad:

1 long English cucumber, unpeeled and in ½-in. (1.25 cm) chunks

3 vine-ripened tomatoes, in ½-in. chunks 

1 sweet medium onion or 1 medium red onion, sliced in half crosswise, and then into eighths 

1 large green pepper, in chunks
