Greek Chopped Salad

Greek Chopped Salad

Fresh salads are always a welcome add to a lunch or dinner menu. This salad has a crunchy, fresh and flavorful taste and the feta adds a rich filling protein. It really could be a lunch or dinner on it’s own. I made the salad last night for dinner and finished it for lunch today. A hint on the dressing: it’s much better after an overnight – the flavor intensifies and it’s yummy.
