Recipe: Garden Vegetable Greek Salad

This salad is very refreshing and versatile. It’s a great brunch side dish. It goes especially well with quiche and eggplant dishes. Stuff salad into warm whole wheat pita bread for a terrific sandwich.

Ingredients

Salad Veggies

  • 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow squash, diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)
    • or 3 – 4 tomatoes, diced
  • 2 slices red onion, diced
    • or the entire thing diced, because you love tang + flavor + crunch
  • 1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled

Dressing

  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp oregano

Recipe

Combine salad veggies and feta cheese. Combine dressing ingredients and pour over salad. (If you don’t like your salad too liquid-y, reserve some of the dressing — it makes a great tossed salad dressing, too.) Recipe takes about 30 – 45 minutes to prepare, depending on how fast your knife skills are. Serves 6 – 8.
