Greek-ish Salad
I made this for dinner tonight and thought I’d re-share! Is re-share a word!?!
I love this salad! I’m pretty sure traditional Greek Salad doesn’t come with lettuce and that is why I am calling this “Greek-ish Salad”. As I’m sitting here writing this, I keep hearing Bart Simpson’s voice, “you don’t make friends with salad…”
