Lunch was a Greek-inspired salad. I got the idea a few weeks ago when Angie commented after a post where I asked for salad ideas. She makes a Greek salad with a feta dressing. I have made variations of this salad several times over the last few weeks; it's delicious! Today, we were unfortunately out of olives, but the salad still tasted great!To me, the best part of this salad is the dressing and the lemon juice in it. It's funny, because I used to hate lemon juice in salad dressing. Growing up, we NEVER bought salad dressing but always made our own, all-natural salad dressing with LOTS of lemon juice. And I HATED lemon juice in salad dressing. And I also hated the lecture my mom gave me every time I asked why we couldn't be "normal" and eat delicious, bottled salad dressing (with all the nice chemicals in it)!
Here is today's Greek-inspired salad dressing (I slightly change it every time I make it...):
- Juice of two lemons - Yes, it's very lemony! Use less, if you don't LOVE lemons... :o)
- Greek non-fat yogurt
- feta cheese
- salt
- pepper
- [Angie uses a bit of mayonnaise instead of the Greek yogurt; that's also a very nice variation of this dressing.... :o)]
Questions: What did you have for lunch today? What's your favorite salad at the moment?Be well,
Andrea
