Favorite greek salad

The base salad is from the keeper of the home website.  My kids will actually eat this salad since it doesn't have lettuce!  The Greek dressing is from Allrecipes website.

Favorite Greek Salad

 

1 English cucumber
3-4 tomatoes (this totally depends on the type- Roma, small or large, etc.)
1/4 large red onion (maybe 1/2 a small one?)
1-2 red peppers (again, depending how big they are)
Dice all veggies. I like mine in about 1 inch cubes- it's a nice size.
Add pitted green (Kalamata are great) deli olives (fresh, not canned!), chopped into smaller pieces. Then add as much feta cheese as it takes to mix it well throughout the salad, without scrimping.

Dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
2/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 1/4 tsp dried oregano
1 1/4 tsp dried basil
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder

You can just whisk all the ingredients together and serve, but the dressing will separate very quickly.  I like to put the vinegar, mustard, onion and garlic powders, S&P in a food processor.  With the processor running add the olive oil in a slow drizzle.  Stir in the dried herbs.  This way emulsifies the dressing and will keep it from separating.
