and add

- black pitted olives
- feta cubes

For the dressing just sprinkle oregano into a good olive oil and drizzle.

I lived in Greece for a bit, I know what I'm talking about. ”

Inspired

I had a Greek salad for lunch and, as I eat low carb, I make it fairly often and have been experimenting with the basic recipe. I don't normally like cucumber (other than in Pimms) but I added a few chunks from the veg box to today's effort and you're right, they do need to be peeled.

I have been adding leaves but I realise that I was eating them first to get them out of the way and it would be much better without them.

I have been making the dressing from Greek olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt (not much as the Feta and olives are quite salty) and black pepper. Again, I think I could lose the vinegar to improve it.

Only drawback is that I can't stand raw onion so I leave that out. Thanks for the tips.
