The ingredients for Jesse's Famous Greek Salad (2cup serving) are:

Cucumber (with peel or half-peeled), 2 med-large, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced into 1/4" thick slices

Red Onion, half a med-large, cut in half lengthwise and then sliced thin

Roma tomato, 3-4 med size, chopped into ~1/4" cubes

sliced black olive, 1 3.8oz can

Athenos Reduced Fat Feta Cheese, Traditional, Chunk, 4 oz (1 package), crumbled up (tastes better crumbling from chunk rather than buying crumbled)

Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1/3 cup

Red Wine Vinegar, 1/3 cup

Cavender's All Purpose Greek Seasoning, 1.25 tsp

McCormick Greek Seasoning, 0.25 tsp (this has a thicker grind mix than Cavender's for a little visual punch)

Fresh ground black pepper, 0.25 tsp

Here is how you make Jesse's Famous Greek Salad (2cup serving):

You can use either regular cucumber or English, I've gotten great results with both, and peeled, 1/2 peeled, or with skin. Tomato-wise I prefer Romas, but regular tomatos can be used as well.Put the cucumber, onion, tomato, and olive in a large bowl, then crumble the package of feta over the pile. I prefer using some sort of food-safe gloves to do the crumble with so that my hands don't smell like feta for a day or two ;)~ Combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, the two types of Greek seasoning, and the pepper into a 2 cup measuring and stir well. Then pour over vegetable mix and stir well. Refrigerate for half an hour before serving to let the flavors seep in. This salad is even better on day two! For a different texture experience, you can chop the cucumber and onion instead. Makes approximately eight 2-cup servings.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JDEGRAFF57Z.
