Greek Salad

A lovely salad to prepare ahead and keep in the fridge. Ideal for packed lunches & as a perfect side for barbecues during the summer months. It can also be served as a main meal. Feta is a fresh, white, salty, crumbly Greek cheese; a perfect addition to many salads, due to its salty flavour, a little goes a long way.
