Notes

What’s in a traditional Greek Salad Dressing?

Olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar and a variety of spices.

Mixing up the shapes: As with many salads, how small or chunky you cut the salad impacts the amount of flavor you get in one bite. Its fine to cut these down to itty bitty pieces (think salsa style) or leave huge and rustic style. Additionally, the cucumber could be spiralized into long curly cues instead of pieces makes for not only a pretty salad but one full of cucumber.

Turn into protein bowl: Serve with quinoa, hummus and tzatziki sauce for a full healthy protein bowl.
