Easy Mediterranean Salad


This Mediterranean salad makes a perfectly light, simple and fairly economical side dish for any gathering. This vibrant dish is chocked full of tomatoes, cucumbers, kalamata olives, crumbled feta, red onions and red peppers - and dressed simply with olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper and fresh oregano. Z made this dish for a family party we attended on Saturday, and it was a huge hit - especially with me. I had about five three servings of it!

What simple side dishes do love making for get togethers?

  1. I've been making a side dish of green beans with garlic and cilantro, that has been a big hit lately!

  3. I adapted a recipe from the Brokeback Contessa for an orzo-feta salad that is very similar. Perfect for entertaining since you can serve it hot, cold, or room temperature and it always tastes like summer time.
