    Greek Salad is a great way to have your detox. It is one of those simple salads which stands out due to the freshness of its ingredients. You do not need to be a MasterChef to enjoy this. Just basic fresh ingredients and a big block of feta cheese. Absolute yum! I love my cheese and this way I just manage to get all those fresh veggies in my tummy too. The dressing makes it so yum.

    Typically, Horiatiki, the traditional Greek salad has no lettuce. Salty olives and lime juice just take feta to new levels. Add it the crunch of red onions and juicy roma tomatoes. Crunchy cucumbers and fresh peppers add a zing to it. Yum yum yum just like my bubba says!

    Are salads boring???

    There was a time I could not have salads. Boringgg...........Boringgg.....This kept going on in my mind. Always thought them to be boring. Now I know, salads need not be boring. It can be yummy too. Whether its the juicy summer mango salsa  or Vietnamese salad. Mexican guacamole or avocado dip salad. Go with grains salad for a full meal be it Crunchy quinoa or black barley salad. if you love your chana, you will love your Chickpeas with dijon mustard.

    Why this authentic Greek salad rocks?

    Colorful and fresh meal prep recipe can help you finish your lunch at your desk. Reds yellows and greens make it so vibrant. No need to skip food. Also helps you take care of your waistline. This is the way to go.

    Salads help you detox and also add crunch to your meal. If you cannot have it as it is. However, adding feta cheese to normal green salad gives it a great texture. If you do not get feta, add some cottage cheese, lemon juice, red wine vinegar along with salt and pepper. Cucumbers give you the freshness, tomatoes the acidity, green bell pepper, the crunch. Kalamata olives the saltiness and total fun food for kids full of umami.
