Greek Salad

This Greek salad is a healthy vegetable packed salad, drizzled with a homemade red wine vinegar dressing.

7 tablespoons red wine vinegar, divided

8 cups romaine lettuce, 3/4 inch thick pieces

3/4 cup green bell pepper, 3/4 inch dice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 

1 teaspoon honey

2 teaspoons minced garlic, 

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 

Add sliced red onions and 1/4 cup red wine vinegar to a small bowl. Allow to sit for about 15 minutes, then drain. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the salad.

In a large bowl add lettuce. Evenly arrange green bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, drained red onions, Kalamata olives and feta cheese on top of the salad.
