Samos Spinach Salad

I have no idea why this is called Samos Spinach Salad. I like the spinach-Boston lettuce combination in this recipe.  It’s a nice contrast.

Salad:
4 cups spinach, washed and cut into bite sized pieces
4 cups Boston Lettuce, washed and cut into bite sized pieces
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
3 to 4 green onions, thinly sliced
¼ cup mushrooms, sliced
24 pitted ripe black olives
10 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
6 ounces marinated artichoke hearts, drained and sliced

Dressing:
¼ cup wine vinegar
¾ cup olive oil
¼ teaspoon dry mustard
1 large clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper too taste
  1. Assemble the dressing.  Shake and chill at least one hour before serving.
  2. Assemble  the lettuces in a large salad bowl.
  3. Put the remaining items on top of the lettuce.
  4. Get a piece of clean paper towel wet with cold water.
  5. Place on the salad and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
