Generally, a handshake. Between good friends, a hug.
In the Netherlands, there is a kissing greeting, and I use that with Dutch cousins, aunts, and uncles. One uncle insisted he had to train all of us American relatives in the proper way to greet a friend or relative in the Netherlands. A cousin from another branch of the family tree came to visit last spring, and he thought it was cool that I knew how to do it. I'm pretty sure he didn't expect it--Americans are uptight about that sort of thing.
