Diner Greek Salad & 3rd Trimester Tales
Prep time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 1 cup
 
This dressing is a beautiful gold colour and has real zing. It really helps to let the salad sit in the dressing for a few minutes so it really absorbs the flavour.
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup of extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp of red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp of fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp of onion powder
  • ¼ tsp of garlic powder
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 head of iceberg lettuce, washed and torn
  • 4 tomatoes, cubed
  • 1 cucumber, cubed
  • 200g feta cheese (goat or sheep's milk), crumbled
Instructions
  1. While you're preparing the dressing, make sure the iceberg lettuce is draining or paper towels or has been spun in a salad spinner to remove as much excess water as possible.
  2. In a mason jar combine all the dressing ingredients and give it a good shake.
  3. In a salad bowl, place the lettuce, tomato and cucumber and toss together. Add the dressing and toss to coat well.
  4. Allow the salad to sit for 10-15 minutes so the lettuce really absorbs the dressing.
  5. When it's time to serve it, top with crumbled feta.
  6. Pairs really nicely with grilled chicken or beef skewers.
