PW Greek Salad

1 head Romaine lettuce, chopped
4 whole ripe tomatoes, cut into six wedges each, then each wedge cut in half
1 whole (large) cucumber, peeled, cut into fourths lengthwise, & chopped
1/2 whole red onion, sliced very thin
30 whole pitted Kalamata olives, cut in half lengthwise
6 ounces, crumbled feta cheese
Fresh parsley, roughly chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. Sugar (more to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
6 whole Kalamata olives (extra), chopped fine
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 whole lemon

Add chopped lettuce, tomato wedges, cucumber chunks, onion slices, halved Kalamata olives, half the feta, and parsley to a large bowl.

Combine olive oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped olives in a bowl. Whisk together until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings (I almost always add a little sugar.)

Pour dressing over salad ingredients, then add salt and pepper. Toss with tongs or clean hands. Just before serving, top with additional feta and squeeze a little lemon juice over the top.
