Greek Salad (Monday's Dinner)

Although, Jared and I made a Mediterranean salad last Monday, this salad was very different. We love Greek salad, mostly for the kalamata olives and the feta cheese! The dressing was perfect! If you love salads, definitely try this one!

Ingredients:
1 cucumber, diced
2 large tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedges (I used cherry tomatoes)
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup thinly sliced green bell pepper
1/2 cup whole, pitted kalamata olives
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste


Directions:
1) In a medium bowl, layer cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, kalamata olives, and feta cheese. Sprinkle with oregano, then drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Jared loves salad...and that is probably an understatement! He really enjoyed the salad and the fresh veggies!

I must agree with Jared. Homemade salads are so much better when you make the dressing too!

We will definitely be making this salad again!
