This is a traditional greek salad recipe with the addition of lettuce. If you really want a real classic greek salad, omit the lettuce. If you want a delicious salad, then add the lettuce back:-) Jokes aside, I can’t imagine this salad without lettuce. I wouldn’t make it at all without lettuce. I don’t know how real Greeks like this salad, but the below recipe is guaranteed delicious. Also, some extra greens won’t harm us definitely.
