Now, a "Greek salad" in the US is an iceberg lettuce salad with a little romaine, topped with green peppers, tomatoes, feta cheese, and kalamata olives.

By contrast, an actual Greek salad is just those ingredients, with olive oil, and lemon juiced mixed in. By itself it's delicious, or you can use it to top sandwiches, like gyros, but I'll post those up later.
