GREEK INSPIRED SUMMER SALAD
It’s almost salad season here in Australia and to celebrate I have made my own version of traditional Greek salad. I didn’t have any olives on hand but some pitted Kalamatas would be amazing in this dish so I highly recommend including them.
What you will need:
1 green coral lettuce
1 red capsicum (Pepper)
1 punnet of cherry tomatoes
1 large cucumber
200 grams of Greek feta cheese
Dressing:
1 cup Garlic infused olive oil
1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon of ground mustard seeds
What to do:
Tear apart your lettuce and roughly chop the capsicum and cucumber. Arrange in a bowl(s) and top with the cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta. In a jar or shaker combine all your spices, vinegar and oil and shake until combined. A mason jar worked perfect for this and any leftover dressing can be easily stored in it within the fridge. Dress your salad just before serving. Enjoy!
