Greek Salad

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat feta

💰Cheaper: ricotta

Low-fat feta reduces calories while ricotta offers a similar texture.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: canned black olives

Green olives can provide a different flavor profile with similar health benefits.

Add balsamic vinegar to a container.

Follow with red wine and olive oil.

Take a fresh clove of garlic, trim each end, and peel it.

Place the clove into a garlic press and crush it into the salad dressing.

If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder.

Add salt, pepper, and oregano to the dressing and stir until nicely combined, then set aside.

Cut the bottom of the stocks off the romaine lettuce and cut it into bite-sized pieces, then place it into a salad bowl and set aside.

Peel the cucumbers, trim the ends, cut them in half, then cut them cross-section wise into bite-sized pieces.

Remove the cores from the tomatoes, cut them in half, and cut into small wedge-sized pieces.

Trim and peel the onion (using a white onion instead of Spanish onion) and chop into small bite-sized bits.

Add the cucumbers into the bowl with the romaine lettuce, followed by the tomatoes, onions, black olives, and feta cheese.

Using salad forks or your hands, toss until everything is nicely combined.

Place the Greek salad into a serving bowl and pour the dressing over the top.
