Food for Thought - Greek Fest!Dear Friends,As we leave Greece on our Virtual Tour around the World, my mind begins to wander. As a bona fide food junkie, it's not unusual for me to be thinking about my favorite thingÑFOOD! Keeping it healthy and easy is doable, as this Greek Salad will attest. I make this salad at least twice a week and just love, love, love it! Grill some fish, toss together this salad and you've got dinner. I promise you, you'll be yelling, "Hopa!" at the top of your lungs, standing on top of the table after one bite. Just don't throw plates like they do in GreeceÉyou'll end up with a big mess and a shopping trip to replace them! Anyway, here's my version of Greek SaladÑenjoy! Leanne's Greek Salad Serves 4 3-4 cups red leaf lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, cut in half 1/4 cup seedless cucumber, sliced and cut in quarters 10 pitless Kalamata olives, sliced in half (lengthwise) 1/3 cup Feta cheese crumbles (I buy the herbed one) 1/4 cup minced red onion (optional; sometimes I put it in, sometimes not) DRESSING: 1 clove garlic, pressed 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 2 shakes dried basil 1 shake oregano In a large mixing bowl, place all the salad ingredients. In a small pitcher or juice glass (that's what I use), place the dressing ingredients. Stir well with a fork. Pour dressing over the top of the salad and toss well. Serve immediately with freshly ground pepper over the top. Love, Leanne *************** Kelly here: Leanne is going to keep us going along our tour with fun recipes and info!
