My friend Becky had me over for lunch a while back and she made this Greek salad that tasted so good. I made it for my family and we ate it as a main dish but you can also have it as a side dish. The kids didn't care for the Greek taste but Steve and I love it.

Gina's Tips
I like to cut the small tomatoes in half or even quarters. I also cut the olives in half so their strong flavor isn't too overwhelming and they spread further. If I don't have celery on hand I use cucumbers.
I ran out of pasta shells so I used elbow macaroni.
ReplyDeleteThis Greek says that anything with feta cheese and/or kalamata olives is delish. OPA!
ReplyDeleteDid you take this to Crystal's craft night? There was something very close to it if it wasn't yours...
Yes, that was mine. I made this salad and took it to Crystal's. Everyone was asking me about it. Crystal said she would link my food blog to her craft blog. I'm glad it was a hit.
