Guest guest Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hey Bev, your salad sounds yummy except I would substitute feta cheese for the blue cheese because I'm a feta fanatic. Which leads me to my favorite salad... the Greek salad. When I went to Greece I paid careful attention to how they made them and I try to be authentic as possible, except there mostly they don't even use lettuce in it and just olive oil for the dressing, whereas I love balsamic. So, I make it (for one person) with lettuce, half a green pepper diced, about 1/4 red onion cut into pieces, 1 tomato diced, 1/2 a cucumber chopped, a few dashes of oregano on top, a few kalamata olives, as much feta cheese as I'd like, and balsamic vinegar and a bit of olive oil as the dressing. Mmm so delicious. -Jackie , " Bev " <bdowns45681 wrote: > > Hi all, > Maybe you all have did this before and if you did I missed it..

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hi Jackie, This sounds good & I will try it. Are kalamata olives very much different than black olives? thanks Bev > > Hey Bev, > > your salad sounds yummy except I would substitute feta cheese for the blue cheese because I'm a feta fanatic.
