This recipe was handed down to me by an older Greek gentleman iam happy that he shared this recipe with me, as it become my all time summer favorite dish to eat and make.(Thank you George )

In honor of our First Lady's Healthy School Lunches and Lets Move Programs - my student's Charter Schools are promoting her efforts. Here's how.All students - especially the culinary students - were charged with creating an easy, delicious, healthy lunch option. Then, they were to present and explain the nutritional benefits of their dish to their schoolmates.Needless to say, mostly chilled salads were presented by my students. Everything from seafood salads, to pasta salads, to macaroni salads, to garden salads. I'll post those easy recipes as their pictures are edited. Posted below is one of my youngest students submissions.Every vegetable in his salad was organic and pulled directly from my gardens. "Quick, easy, nutritious and farm to table," were his primary selling points. Talk about healthy! So, if you love fresh, chilly, crispy, cheesy, zesty, tangy tasting vegetables - you'll love this incredibly simple recipe! Serve same day or, at a maximum, overnight. Otherwise the vinager will soften your vegetables. Or, simply serve dressing to the side for a longer shelf life.

Easy and refreshing take on a Greek salad.

I love this dish on a sunny day out on the deck, served with pork slovaki straight from the BBQ.

Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend :) A brand new week ahead of us and I am hoping that it is a good one for everyone. I am back with a salad again today, and this one I know that everyone knows and has tried :) the Traditional Greek Salad, or otherwise known in Greece as "Choriatiki Salata" which translated into English means "Country Salad" or "Village Salad"This reminds of a story, my Dad had a really great sense of humour sometimes his jokes were just to funny that my stomach would hurt from laughing so much, but sometimes he would say things that were just so nonchalant...This is really funny but you need to understand Greek to be able to understand. We had gone to a Greek Tavern in Chasia which is an area in Athens that mainly has Greek Taverns. :) We were just about to order the appetisers when my dad turned around in a very nonchalant way and asked the waiter if they had "Vlaxiki salata" instead of saying "Choriatiki salata". We had never heard this salad referred to as Vlaxiki Salad, we had a good laugh and so did the waiter!! :)The truth is that back in those days the Villagers would grow there own tomatoes, cucumbers, so when working in the fields they would have a Tomato, Cucumber a few olives on a napkin to eat. So the term Vlaxiki Salata comes from how they used to eat, as years followed the named changed to Greek Salad, or Choriatiki. :) My mom grew up in a village so she told me that back then this is what my grandfather use

What could be more delicious to eat on a hot summer day? Salad of course! I love all sorts of salads with different Oil bases and or any home made dressing. This is a very simple, green, light, and healthy salad based in Olive Oil and Lemon.Coming from a Greek background, I don’t remember my mother ever not using Olive Oil, and so the tradition continued with me. I use Olive Oil in all my salads and in my recipes, because I love the taste, texture, and the fact is the benefits of eating Olive Oil are just countless.

Making steak for dinner and was planning on making blue cheese dressing for a wedge salad. No blue cheese! So I grabbed Feta and made a new dressing. Yum! Great on salads or grilled chicken and pita bread. 😋

An incredibly refreshing chilled springtime appetizer or side dish!
