GREEK SALAD


If you don’t like raw peppers and onions grill the vegetables before adding the salad dressing. You may add grilled prawns or chicken to the salad if you like. Vegetarians can add chunks of grilled cottage cheese. This salad is high on protein, low on carb and a good source of fiber.

Ingredients



  • Red bell pepper: 1 large, cubed
  • Yellow bell pepper: 1 large, cubed
  • Tomatoes: 1 large, diced
  • Cucumbers: 1 diced
  • Onions: 1 medium, diced
  • Lettuce: 8-10 leaves, cut into bite sized pieces
  • Feta cheese: a handful
  • Fat free yogurt: ½ cup
  • Lime juice: 2 tablespoon
  • Garlic: 3-4 cloves, chopped
  • Salt: to taste
  • Black pepper powder: to taste
  • Red chilli powder: a pinch
  • Fresh basil: 1 teaspoon chopped

Method


Mix yogurt, garlic, salt, pepper, chilli powder and basil to make the dressing. Add a few drops of olive oil if you like. Add the salad dressing and feta cheese to the vegetables, add your choice of lean meat, mix well and serve cold.
