It’s All Greek To Me!

There is a boy down the street whose family have a few avocado trees. He was saving up for a mountain bike and decided to start his own little produce business. Anthony often sets up a stand and also takes orders to deliver produce to neighbors.

I love being able to buy my avocados from a local entrepreneur in training.

I have a feeling we will be eating a lot of this salad over the summer months.

EASY AVOCADO GREEK SALAD

INGREDIENTS
For The Dressing:

• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic (or 1 large garlic cloves, minced)
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano (plus extra to serve)
• ¼ teaspoon salt

For The Salad:

• 1 large cucumber, halved lengthways and sliced
• 4 vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into wedges
• 1 green pepper (capsicum), deseeded and sliced
• ½ red onion, sliced thinly
• 7 oz | 200 g good quality creamy feta cheese, cubed
• ½ cup (3 oz | 80 g) pitted Kalamata olives
• 1 large avocado, diced
• DIRECTIONS:
  1. Whisk together dressing ingredients in jug or jar.
  2. Mix together all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Toss with dressing. Season with extra salt ONLY IF NEEDED (depending on how salty your feta cheese is).
  3.  Serve with chicken, fish, lamb, beef, the options are endless!

  Quick Tip: Go ahead and have your salad made. Divide it up into realistic servings. Put dressing in a mason jar and add the salad on top. Put the lid on so it is airtight. When you are ready to eat, turn it over and put on your plate.
