Classic Greek Salad
This Classic Greek Salad from Crete is a vibrant, fresh dish to add to your summer menu. It is the perfect side to accompany your favorite grilled meats or fish, but it is delicious enough to stand alone as a light lunch with a bit of bread on the side. It keeps well, so you can take it to a potluck or package it up for work lunches. My kids love this one! Which makes me happy as it is packed with veg. Plus, it's incredibly easy to make; in just a few minutes, you can have a tasty and colorful salad that will become a staple in your summer kitchen.
