In Greece, a proper salad isn't an afterthought or a side dish - it's a celebration of fresh ingredients at their peak. When Johnny Vagianos opened his restaurant in 1977, he brought this philosophy with him from the island of Kalymnos. Our Greek Salad follows the traditional Mediterranean approach: simple, fresh ingredients that speak for themselves, enhanced (never masked) by a light dressing.
What sets our Greek Salad apart is our unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity. We receive fresh produce deliveries daily. The feta cheese is authentic Greek-style - not the crumbly domestic version, but creamy, tangy blocks that we cut fresh. The Kalamata olives are imported, not substituted with cheaper alternatives. Our house-made vinaigrette uses real extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh garlic, oregano, and a touch of lemon juice - the way it's been made in Greek kitchens for generations.

More Than a Side - A Meal in Itself
While our Greek Salad makes an excellent accompaniment to any entrée, many customers order it as their main dish - and for good reason. The generous portions and nutritious combination of fresh vegetables, protein-rich feta, and healthy fats from olive oil create a satisfying, complete meal. It's the perfect choice when you want something light yet filling, healthy yet indulgent, simple yet incredibly flavorful.
