    Feta and Olive Salad

    Each year as the weather gets warmer, I’m usually tend to make quicker and sometimes cooler meals. I find cooler meals much more enjoyable when its warm and I love to experiment with different salads. This salad is one of my favourites and I tend to make it regularly over the warmer months as it pairs nicely with many main dishes.

    This salad is healthy and filling and contains many nutrients that are important for health. It is high in unsaturated fat, low in saturated fat and perfect for those following a low carb or gluten free diet. The salad can be served on its own as a main or it can be served as a side salad with chicken, lamb or fish.

    Ingredients for Feta and Olive Salad

    • Lettuce – I use romaine. Other leaves you can use include spinach, rocket or watercress.
    • Onion – for this recipe I use red onion.
    • Cucumber – use English cucumber
    • Tomatoes – I use cherry tomatoes.
    • Feta cheese – use Greek style feta.
    • Olives – use any black or green olives.

    For the Dressing

    • Lemon – squeezed from a fresh lemon.
    • Mustard – I use Dijon mustard.
    • White wine vinegar – or distilled vinegar.
    • Olive oil – I use extra virgin.
