Greek Salad


Greek Salad

Greek Salad reminds me of my friend Tammy.  She taught me how to enjoy and make a Greek Salad.  Over the years, she and I have enjoyed many variations of this treat.  It is fresh, crunchy and has a hint of salt from both the feta and the Kalamata Olives.  This would be good with a piece of grilled chicken.  I like to serve it with warm pita bread.  Go crazy!
