Greek Salad
From Dorothy McNett's recipes at www.dorothymcnett.com. Lettuce in Greece is generally limited to two kinds, Romaine and Boston lettuce. Lettuce was considered a potent anti-aphrodisiac...as Aphrodite used lettuce to take revenge on the men who turned down her amorous advances! This is probably why one rarely sees "lettuce salad" in Greece!

1 green pepper, sliced and diced
black olives
