Simple Greek Salad

When I was pregnant I craved greek salad.  

All.the.time.  

I had a bowl of greek salad every single day for a good five months.  Now this was a bit bizarre because although I love it, I'd never made greek salad myself.  It was a favourite to order once in a while at a restaurant but that's it.  Once my son was born, the craving vanished and I didn't make it or order it for almost a year.  Now I am getting back into this salad so I thought I would share this super easy recipe I swear by.  I love a salad in the summer.  Who wants to cook when it's so hot outside?  This is also a great option to bring a bbq or a potluck.  It's from my friend's mom whose house I frequented growing up.  I'm confident she's never made a bad meal!

Super Easy Classic Greek Salad

Cut up into chunks and mix together whatever quantity of the following ingredients:

Roma Tomatoes

Green Pepper

Red Onion

Cucumber

Olives (I'm not a fan of olives so I just add more veggies) 

I also like to add celery and mushrooms if I have them on hand

Dressing:

1/2 cup olive oil

2 tbsp lemon juice (I use freshly squeezed)

2 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tbsp oregano

1 tsp salt (optional)

1 tsp pepper

And that's it!  I usually make a huge salad and keep it in the fridge in this container.  Then I make the dressing separately and just add it to the salad when I dish out a bowl.  This keeps the veggies and feta crisp longer.
