Greek Salad for One

Salads don’t have to be complex to be interesting, nor do you have to make a big batch.  In the summer when produce is fresh and packed with flavor, just cut a few of your favorite veggies, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, then top with crumbles of potent cheese and salt & pepper.

This was my lunch a few days ago (along with a big whole wheat pita & hummus).

Greek Salad for One

1 Persian/Japanese cucumber (the mini ones)

1 big heirloom tomato

6-8 olives

chunk of good Feta, crumbled

drizzle of olive oil

salt & pepper

Pile ingredients on plate and eat.  The salt & pepper are key here, as they bring out the flavor of your veggies.

To make this meal more substantial, add some canned tuna, salmon, or sardines.
