\"Greek<\/a><\/p>\n

We are big salad eaters at my house. \u00a0(And when I say “we”, I mean my husband and I. \u00a0My girls won’t go near\u00a0the lettuce unless it’s shredded in a sandwich, and even then it’s touch and go!) \u00a0We’ll have a big salad for dinner at least once a week, sometimes more. \u00a0I’m always on the lookout for ways to eat healthier, get more veggies, and eat less refined carbohydrates. \u00a0This Greek Salad<\/strong><\/em> really fits the bill!<\/p>\n

If you’ve made this salad before or had it at a restaurant, you know it’s fresh, bright and simple. \u00a0The two things that make it spark and give it that clean taste are the dressing and the cheese. \u00a0The dressing is maybe the easiest vinaigrette around—all you need are dried oregano, lemon juice, and olive oil! \u00a0Taste it, add salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar to taste, and you’re done! \u00a0The cheese is a crumbly white cheese called feta. \u00a0It tastes sort of like goat cheese, but it’s a little saltier, a little drier in texture. \u00a0It’s also very low in calories, so feel free to add a few tablespoons to your salad.<\/p>\n

We had this salad last night, in huge bowls, with braised chicken. \u00a0If you want to make it a one-dish meal, add diced chicken or grilled shrimp right to the salad. \u00a0Healthy and delicious—it’s what’s for dinner!<\/p>\n
