Greek Salad

My sweet Ma was here last week. Her and my sister Aunie came for a visit to see our life here on the lake. We enjoyed our time together - of course it went too fast. Ma had a few good recipes she shared with us while she was here. One of them was a Greek salad recipe. It was hit! We've had it twice since she left. The dressing is delicious. Here is the fresh and fantastic recipe......
