Since the temperature is going up again, try this salad.

Yes, I know, there's more to healthy eating than salads – but salads are cold meals and taste darn good, not to mention being good for you.

 

GREEK SALAD                 

 

Serves: 1

 

8 leaves romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces

1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and sliced

2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

1 tsp. dried oregano leaves

½ tsp. salt

 

  • Combine 8 leaves lettuce, 1cucumber,  1 tomato, ½ cup onion, ½ cup feta cheese in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the 2 tbsp. olive oil, 2 tbsp. lemon juice, 1 tsp. oregano leaves and ½ tsp. salt in a small bowl.
