Greek Lemon Drop Soup with Orzo
Seems like a lot of ingredients however taste is good and complex.
Thanks Bev!
Salad and the dressing were fantastic though I did replace the deli roast beef with Pastourma and used my Uncle’s smoked Country Ham. BTW – That is hands down the BEST Greek-American salad dressing that we have ever tried. A total keeper and I can’t wait to use it as a marinade 🙂

Thanks Brandon!
Hi, I currently live in Brockton, and grew up on the South Shore. I’ve been going to Christo’s for 40 years! During the lean days, my treat to myself and my boys was take-out Christo’s Jumbo Greek Salad and cheese pizza. I wanted to let you and Jack know that your recipes for the salad and dressing are spot on, and especially pertinent now. Sadly, Christo’s closed in December. Rumor has it that the will be opening a small take-out only somewhere locally. Thanks for your diligence in getting the secrets written for us!
Thanks so much for writing to us Daviann! We too heard about Christo’s closing a few days before the end of the year and really wanted to get there before they did – but unfortunately with the holidays being so hectic, we didn’t. We’re hoping that they do open up the take-out place in Whitman (I think that is where is it rumored to be opening). We’re glad you enjoyed the recipes!! Thanks again for writing to us!
Looks amazing. I’ve been looking for a good greek salad recipe. I bet this would be great with pita bread too. Thanks!
Thanks Sarah!
I grew up in Whitman and quite often would go to Christo’s for salad and their white pizza, (I worked at the Eastside Bradlees through high school and college). I was saddened to hear of Mr. Tsanganis’ passing. I will always remember hearing him say “party of two in the blue room”. Thanks for posting the recipe, I will certainly try it out.
Thanks for writing to us Marianne! When Jack and I talked about writing this post, we too remembered “Party for two in the Blue Room!” (or Gold Room!). Fond memories! Thank you so much for visiting our site – glad you enjoyed the recipe!
