Greek Salad

Oh, how I love Greek Salad. The key to a great Greek Salad is the salad dressing and a few key toppings.  For me, those are feta cheese and kalamata olives.  So, I keep an eye out for these on sale. I can usually find feta cheese at Costco on sale, and I freeze individual 6 oz blocks.  They thaw out great!

I have a traditional Greek Marinade I use for Kabobs and vegetables, but the one used here is really similar. It’s great when you are in a pinch!
