Greek Salad with a Twist
I love a good classic Greek salad - tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, onion, olive oil, a dash of lemon juice, salt and pepper, topped with some olives - done! It is so simple yet always hits the spot and takes you right to a greek tavern with wooden tables, white wooden chairs and blue and white checkered tablecloths... okay day dreaming session over. Here is my high protein greek salad recipe:

*If you do not have a high quality lemon olive oil on hand: mix togehter 2 Tbsp. olive oil mixed with 1 Tbsp. lemon juice and 1tsp. honey or a sweet white vinegar (dilute dressing with some water if needed). This gives the salad a sweet olive-lemon taste that elevates the dish from basic to amazing!
