    Greek Summer Salad

    This easy Greek summer salad is perfect if you have a garden overrun with fresh vegetables. Or, you've gotten a great CSA box or had a nice pick-up from the farmer's market. Greek summer salad is easy and you can add or remove ingredients to your liking. I know it's hard in these times to safely acquire food and sometimes you are not going to get all the things on your list. This salad is forgiving. Add or take out what works for you. The Greek salad dressing is tangy and easy to make.

    Greek Summer Salad

    I recommend making the salad dressing first. The ingredients meld together and become more flavorful if they have time to settle and get to know each other before you shake them all up and pour them on the salad. We eat a lot of salads for lunch at our house so I double, sometimes even triple the recipe and keep it in a mason jar in the fridge.

    If you'd like to make this more of a main meal, add in ½ can of your favorite beans and/or some albacore tuna. I love to add white beans or great northern beans. But you could add whatever you have on hand, like chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, etc.

    For other light summer salads, try my cranberry walnut spinach salad with sesame dressing; Caprese salad; black bean and corn salad; or grilled chicken with balsamic fig dressing.
