Greek Diner Salad
Serve this updated take on the Greek diner classic as a vegetarian entree or in a smaller portion as a side salad. Grilled or roasted meats also make an excellent topping. For the best effect, chop everything in small, equal-size bits.
To make ahead: Store the chopped salad and dressing separately, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.)
