Greek Salad

I ordered this salad the other day at a restaurant and liked very much how it went with my main course. So I tried it at home, and it took me less than 10 minutes to make it. The salad is terrible simple it only goes 3 types of fresh vegetables and few leaves of lettuce. With the addition of feta cheese it’s a very nice combination of veggies, and I added black olives. I’m a big fan of olives, especially black so I sliced them and tossed on top. Everyone can make this salad. You only need 10 min to slice the vegetables and place them in a bowl. This is a nice vegetarian salad, very refreshing and quick to make. Greek salad is good if you’re watching your weight; it has little calories and can keep you full till next meal.
