Karyn, could you post your recipe for Greek Salad? - Mare749 - 02-28-2011

I've seen several, but haven't made one for a while. The last time I did, it was a huge hit with the family. Wouldn't you know, I don't know what I did with the recipe or where I got it.

There are two we really enjoy. For the kebabs with a side dish salad I like this recipe.. I usually make a tzatiki as a sauce.

We usually serve it with homemade pita bread which is really fun to make. The pita hold up well for wrap sandwiches the next day.

If you're looking for a main dish, we love this:
