Pimpao +, looking me. A Greek restaurant just opened a short distance from where I live. Real Greek salad. Spinach pie. Wow I could live there.

Croutons are used in Caesar salads.

one of my favourite dishes with a nice steak and a nice red wine...

Where I'm from in Greece we use lemon instead of red wine vinegar (balsamic) as does every Greek restaurant I ever worked at. I do like it with the vinegar though, it's one of my favourite dressings on a green salad.

I don't understand the point of iceberg lettuce... it's green water. It has no calories, no vitamins, no fiber, no protein, no sugar... people just dump dressing on it and pretend they ate something healthy.
I'll do a Greek salad or Tabbouleh... but anything with iceberg lettuce is a joke.

I am Greek and croutons are sometimes used in salads. Especially the Cretan salad.
Thank you

There are several varieties of lettuce & some are better in a salad than others. True, iceberg lettuce is really only good as a "bed" on which to serve the makings of a decent salad. Of course, there are as many possibilities as one's imagination can conjure up.

Player Darius, I like it on egg and lettuce sandwiches - very fresh white bread with real butter, salt and plenty of black pepper. Nom! Might have to go and rustle one up now...

Montana Lady, it’s the only lettuce I like and no I don’t use dressing.

penawareof, I guess Caesar Salad, at least as we know it, is not Greek then. If this author is correct.

I love Greek salad. I don't have to request the croutons to be left off.
