Recipe: Homemade Greek salad in 15 minutes!

Today is a holiday in HK and a long weekend warrants at least one big brunch!

The holiday brunch included baked beans with asparagus, french toast and my favourite, Greek salad.

Sometimes I wonder why I have Greek salad outside when it's so easy to make at home!

Here's the recipe for all you salad lovers and especially for my friend, Pragya Narang.

Ingredients -

• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Reduced fat feta cheese
• 2 tablespoon lime juice
• Lettuce leaves
• 1 onion
• 1 cucumber
• 6 baby tomatoes or 1 whole tomato
• 1/2 bellpeppper; I used yellow bellpepper for the colour but you can use anything

How to make -

Dressing - Combine the olive oil, lime juice, crumbled feta cheese, salt and pepper and keep aside

Wash the lettuce leaves and make a bed of leaves in the salad bowl

Cube the onions and cucumbers. 

Cut the baby tomatoes into quarters. 

Finely chop the bellpeppers. 

Put everything together in a bowl.

Pour 1 tablespoon of the dressing on the vegetables and toss till everything's mixed together.

Now, transfer all the vegetables to the salad bowl. Pour the rest of the dressing on it and voila, your salad is ready!

I like my Greek salad cold so I tend to pop into the fridge and take it out just before eating. This ensures that the vegetables remain fresh and crunchy!

The thing I like most about the Greek salad? The lemon and olive oil juice right at the bottom. Scoop up the juice with the lettuce leaves and enjoy!

Can you see the juice?
