Greek Salad

Greek salad is an easy and very tasty appetizer. The trick is getting good feta cheese and real olives, not the stuff from the can. Greek salads can be turned into a meal by adding pita bread or put into pita pockets. If using it as a meal, add in falafel, greek meatballs or souvlaki.

Ingredients:

• Leaf lettuce (arugula, mixed greens, baby spinach, romaine all work great)
• Roma tomatoes
• Red onion
• Cucumber
• Marinated olives
• Feta cheese (use firm tofu if you want to keep it vegan)
• Parsley
• Oil
• Balsamic or red wine vinegar

Directions:

• Wash and rip lettuce
• Dice tomatoes and deseed
• Cut onion, cucumber and parsley
• Mix tomatoes, onion, cucumber, olives and parsley with oil and vinegar to marinate
• Dress lettuce with marinated veggie mixture
• Crumble feta cheese on top of salad

Serve with warm pita bread or marinated chicken, pork, beef or lamb skewers.

Enjoy!
