Classic Greek Salad with Capers and Parsley

When it comes to salads, I don’t think there’s anything more beautiful than a classic Greek salad. The classic Greek contains no lettuce; this allows the beautiful jewel tones of the vegetables to shine through. There’s not much to it, really, a bit of chopping of fresh vegetables, tossed with the traditional Greek dressing, and you have an elegant side dish, or a delicious and nutritious meal.

1 pt. cherry tomatoes, halved

1 large Cucumber, cubed

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

½ c. Kalamata olives

1 4-oz. container Feta crumbles

1 T. capers

1-2 T. chopped fresh parsley

Dressing:

2 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice

½ c. olive oil
