We are not allowed to greet someone invoking HaShem's quality of Shalom - as in wishing someone 'shalom alaychem' before one has said the amidah. However, to casually greet someone you meet on the way by saying 'hi' is not a problem. Certainly, one can respond to a greeting initiated from another person.
