Vaseliades House Salad

When I need a go to salad for a party, lunch, dinner or whatever this is what I choose. It is super easy with 7 ingredients. Here is what you need to make a dinner sized salad for one or a side salad that will serve 2-3:

2 - Packed Cups of Mixed Baby Greens
1/2 - English Cucumber quartered and diced
8 - Cherry Tomatoes halved
1/4 - Cup of Diced Red Onion
1/4 - Cup of Crumbled Feta
1 - TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 - tsp Balsamic Vinegar
Pepper and croutons to taste

Place all the ingredients in a bowl. Drizzle oil and vinegar around the outside of the salad and mix lightly as not to damage the greens. Add/ or make your favorite crouton and a few grinds of pepper. enjoy!!

There are several variations of this salad. For an added fruity taste add a handful of dried cranberries and/or half an apple diced. You can also substitute Goat Cheese for the Feta for a creamier less salty taste.

Other popular additions: Leftover rotisserie chickens, leftover roasted potatoes, any and all leftover veggies.

Note on dressing salads: You do not want to drown your salad. Less is better when it comes to dressing and also helps you save on calories. 1-TBS of Olive Oil is 120 calories. If you see that your dressing/ vinaigrette is pooling in the bottom of your bowl you have added way to much.
