Greek Salad
What's for dinner tonight? It's going to be a hot, hot, hot week here in Fresno with a high of 109 on Wednesday, UGH! I'm doing my best to keep the house cool, which means not turning on the stove or oven if at all possible. Here in the Central Valley, it's not unusual to see many days during the summer months in the triple digits. We do everything we can to keep cool!
So keeping it easy tonight and having salad for dinner, YUM!
Greek salad is one of my favorites.

This looks great! all those flavors. Mmm, yum! Reminds me of a salad I used to get at a Greek restaurant near me, only, unfortunately, that restaurant went out of business. Now I can make it myself!
