This is my sweet husband's all-time favorite salad! He fell in love with it and one of our favorite restaurants. I played close attention as we watched the waiter prepare it tableside. After a little trial and error, I was able to duplicate the recipe at home! I think my husband can taste the love that's tossed in with the salad!

How To Make rick's favorite greek salad

  • Step 1
    Rinse lettuce and pat dry with paper towels. Thinly slice and place in bowl. Lightly sprinkle Italian seasoning over lettuce.
  • Step 2
    Add cucumber, grape tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, olives, peppers, capers and feta cheese to lettuce. Squeeze lemon juiceover all and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Step 3
    Season with salt and pepper to taste, then gently toss to combine. Mound onto large platter and serve immediately.
  • Step 4
    Note: Boiled and chilled shrimp may be added for a special treat! Lettuce can be prepped earlier in the day and stored in the refrigerator. Cucumber, tomatoes, olives, peppers, capers and lemon can also be stored together in a covered bowl until serving but keep the feta cheese separate as it has a strong flavor. Ingredient amounts can be adjusted to suit your taste.
