Notes
Substitutions and Notes
You can use green bell pepper instead of pepperoncinis if you prefer.
You don't have to take the seeds out of the cucumber, but I do it to keep the salad from being too runny.
If you would like to skip making your own dressing, I recommend Ken's Steakhouse Greek Dressing. You can also make the dressing in advance to allow the flavors to blend. It makes a great marinade as well.
Optional serving ideas
Serve with crusty thin sliced bread for a party or side dish. For a dinner salad, serve on top of a bed of romaine lettuce and top with croutons.
If making ahead, leave the dressing on the side until just ready to serve to keep the veggies crisp.
