GREEK SALAD W/FETA AND OLIVES

Greek Salad W/Feta and Olives image

This recipe is from Canadian Living - I love the fact that the dressing is not swimming in olive oil and still packed with flavour. You can cut the vegetables into any size of your preference, but you should try to make sure that the size is approx the same for all vegetables.

If you don't have feta cheese, you can substitute crumbled goat cheese or ricotta salata.
To make your salad more flavorful, marinate the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions in a mixture of olive oil, vinegar, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before assembling the salad.
If you're using Kalamata olives, be sure to rinse them well before adding them to the salad.
For a vegetarian version of this salad, omit the feta cheese and add a can of chickpeas or white beans.
