Simple Greek Salad
Simple Greek Salad is a delicious combination of cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, greek olives and feta cheese tossed in a lemony vinaigrette.Â
It’s light, fresh and delicious. Making it the perfect dish for your spring/summer meals. I like to make up a big batch on the weekend and have it throughout the week. It holds up really well and is a great way to get those veggies in. And for those low carber’s, it’s keto friendly.
