Kathy's Greek Salad

I have a rich heritage of awesome cooks, my dad's side was Greek, my mom's side was German, with that being said I love to cook foods that remind me of the times I spent in the kitchen with those I love. My Greek Salad I want to share with you today, was a recipe I got from my cousin, Kathy. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I do. I make it a few times a week at school and the staff always seems to enjoy it.

The recipe for Kathy's Greek Salad is as follows:
