This is the ticket to a crowd-pleasing salad. It's hard to resist plump, juicy red tomatoes and cool cucumbers tossed with black olives in a silky dressing. And don't forget the feta cheese! If you can't find a bottle of creamy Greek-style salad dressing in your supermarket, head to the refrigerated dip section or deli counter for small containers of tzatziki.
Make ahead
A day before serving, prepare tomatoes, cucumbers and romaine. Store in separate sealed plastic bags and refrigerate. Crumble cheese and measure out olives. Store in separate containers and refrigerate. Assemble salad just before serving.
