KITTENCAL'S MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE TAVERNA CHOPPED GREEK SALAD



Kittencal's Mediterranean-Style Taverna Chopped Greek Salad image

In Greece there are many recipes for this salad, if you love Mediterranean-style full-flavored salads then this is one I think you will really enjoy! You can omit the oil and red wine vinegar and just use the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes, but I like to add it in for extra flavor, use as much artichokes as you like, adjust all ingredients to taste, the oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes are what *makes* this salad so do not omit, also see my recipe#66596
