Did you have a great weekend? We had fun times celebrating a birthday and going to a football game with friends. The evenings are still long and beautiful and I can definitely feel a cooler season coming in.

Over the weekend, I made one of my easiest recipes, this tasty Mediterranean Greek Salad. This simple salad recipe is perfect for warm nights, football parties and is even better the next day as a take along lunch (which I do often). Over the years, I adapted it from one of my old Betty Crocker recipe books. It is meatless, but you can add chicken or steak to make it heartier.

All the ingredients are fresh from your farmers market or grocery store.

I like to use a traditional olive oil and lemon dressing, but a balsamic vinaigrette also goes well with it.

2 cloves garlic

½ teaspoon basil

Mix the above ingredients in a mason jar or bottle. Cover and shake well.

tips to streamline recipes
  • Use precut lettuce, olives , and cabbage
  • Use a bottled dressing instead of making it from scratch
  • Pre-make the salad the night before with everything but the cheese. Add cheese and dressing just prior to serving.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
