Classic Greek Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

 
 
 

 
I get more compliments on this salad than any other recipe I make.  Friends & family request it for every gathering.  The secret is the balsamic dressing.  In the salad dressing aisle, you can find the Good Seasoning Kit, which come with a seasoning packet and a creuet.  The measurements are right on the side, so you end up with a perfect vinaigrette everytime.  Super easy and delish!


Ingredients:
2 heads of Romaine Hearts (rinsed & chopped)
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup chopped cucumbers
1/2 red onion, sliced thin
1 cup feta cheese
1 cup kalamata olives
shredded carrots
1 cup garlic croutons

Dressing:
one package of Good Seasoning Italian Dressing mix, prepared according to directions using balsamic dressing.
