I like how the restaurants in Greece serve it with a single big piece of Feta, instead of cutting the Feta and mixing it into the salad.

The salad that is filled with most things I hated as a kid, but became my favourite salad as an adult.
Very convenient for quick preparation. When I was in a dorm and didn't want to use the kitchen, I just bought a cucumber and tomato on my way home and chopped them in my room.
Basil also works well instead of oregano. Adds a lot of taste.
I also like to add either sour cream or low-fat mayo. And a bit of soy sauce.
Best salad.
Tied with vinaigraitte salad, because the latter is cheap to make in many regions.
Do you mean the Russian vinaigrette salad with boiled vegetables or some other variety? That word reminded me of a delicious and relatively lazy big batch dish I should make in weekend.
The Russian salad. Quick, cheap, and easy to make. Apparently the word originally means a sauce made from vinegar or lemon juice.
I think of vinaigrette as being the dressing.
I used to eat this for lunch once or twice a week because it was just so darn good. Mmmm. Add some chickpeas to stretch it out a bit!
I like to stuff this into a whole wheat pita, sometimes with Dijon or hummus or plain Greek Yogurt or tuna salad
My new goal is to kidnap you and force you to cook for me.
That looks like an awesome salad!! I'm definitely going to have to try this recipe
looks awesome

Looks great! Way too much olives for my taste, but iβd sort them out out and enjoy it anyway
That looks awesome. But aren't those Persian cucumbers? I would think, given a few thousand years of history, that no Greek would put those in. I would. But I'm not Greek.
