Here's a super quick and easy Greek-style salad packed with flavour and texture!
This salad is perfect as a BBQ side, alongside a roast chicken or some slow-cooked lamb. It also makes a great fresh and healthy lunch salad. Simply add your favourite protein, like tuna, chicken, chickpeas, or butter beans.
If you can’t get your hands on fresh oregano (highly recommended as it’s a delicious addition) you could also use dried. Just add roughly 1 tablespoon of the dried oregano to the dressing mixture instead. This will allow the dried leaves to soften a little.
Hope you enjoy this easy and super delicious salad. Let me know if you make it @gatheandfeast and feel free to ask any questions.
