I love greek salads and this variation is so fresh and a fun way to mix up a classic greek salad. I love to make this as a side at dinner with a pasta or potato and vegetable dish or as a light lunch. The dressing makes extra so it’s easy to keep on hand for other salads. The romaine is fresh and full of fiber, the cucumber provides lots of hydration and the olives have plenty of unsaturated healthy fats.
