Greek Salad with pita bread and hummus

FRIDAY
Greek Salad

Kalamata olives and feta cheese really spice up this otherwise simple salad.

Yield 4-6 servings
Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
◦2 c assorted lettuce, chopped or torn
◦4 tomatoes, wedged or sliced
◦1 cucumber, seeded and sliced
◦1 bell pepper, seeded and sliced
◦small, mild white onion, sliced
◦12 Kalamata olives
◦4 oz firm feta cheese or mock feta, cubed
◦¼ c olive oil
◦1 t dried oregano
◦¼ c parsley, chopped
◦salt
◦pepper
◦1 lemon, wedged

Directions Arrange the lettuce in the dish(es). Add tomato, cucumber, green pepper, onion, olives, and cheese.
In the small bowl, whisk together oil, herbs, spices, and the juice from one or two lemon wedges. Drizzle dressing over the salad.

Use the remaining lemon wedges as garnish and serve.

Serve with toasted pita bread and hummus. Also I'm going to add some beans into this for a bit of extra protein.
