Greek Salad Collection

 

Greek Salad 
According to the Food Network, this recipe was adapted from
The New York Times Cookbook, Craig Claiborne, Harper/Rowe, 1961.
I must say, however, that I have the 1961 New York Time Cookbook.
I've spent a good deal of time looking, but was unable to find a Greek Salad
recipe. Putting it out there for you anyway...[MG]

*The latest edition (1990) of Craig Claiborne's renowned
New York Times Cookbook, published by HarperCollins:


New York Times Cookbook 

The original 1961 edition of The New York Times Cook Book is
now out of print, but can be obtained from used book dealers.
