Betty Bossi Greek Style Salad (Lattichsalat Samos)

My mom has a handful of Swiss cookbooks from the 70s and 80s, and while some of the recipes are a bit dated, most of them are still great. When I was visiting my parents I decided to open the salad cookbooks and found this recipe. It's a Greek style salad that can be adjusted in many ways by adding in additional ingredients. I love this salad dressing and was instantly hooked. Adding the herbs to the dressing creates a great flavor. This recipe is the original from the cookbook, but feel free to add diced cumbers, red bell peppers, red onion or any vegetables you like to have in Greek salads.
