SUMMER GREEK SALAD 🍅🌿🍅
Hello my Dearest Foodies,
My neighbor gave me some fresh oregano from his garden, so I was thinking what I could make that would go well with it. Well, I didn’t have to think too long, because I love Greek salad and oregano is one the ingredients that gives it the traditional flavour.
Although I am sure you all have a pretty good idea how to make a Greek salad, I like to share it with you anyway, because it was super delicious and I ate it two days in the row, lol.

This looks so good, so healthy! The almond feta is something new to me! I don't like cheese already, so this will be a great substitute..
BTW-I am eating my bowl of salad with quinoa at the moment, but this one is still tantalizing...Recently, my doctor said that I have severe migraines, with acute pain, so I am currently going through some changes, and juicing, and learning what to eat that won't trigger the migraine...
Thank you so much Dear Icy I am glad you like it............. keep me posted about those migraines. I wake up with migraine everyday, but then it goes away. But my is hormonal :(
You always make it so delicious-looking that I Want to Jump Right In and run off with it.
I wish that was possible Denise, thank you so much. You always put smile on my face 💖😊💖
