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.
