How to make a Simple Greek Salad - Just drizzle on the Olive oil or make the dressing featured!

 Who doesn't enjoy a Greek salad in Summer. It has got to contain Feta or Greek salad cheese, red onion and black olives though! Also in this recipe we have added mixed salad leaf, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and crusty bread rolls to serve. Drizzle on the olive oil and voila! You can serve it has a main, or as a side salad in a large clear bowl with a big spoon, for guests to take as much as they want. There is always someone who will take more than their fare share of the black olives though!! Feta cheese is not as processed I don't think because it is made with sheep, or sheep and goat's milk instead of cow's milk. With all the mixed salad ingredients in this, coupled with the crusty, ideally wholemeal bread rolls, this makes for a very healthy yet very tasty meal! 

Here is the Recipe

How to make a Ploughman's lunch

 Who doesn't like a Ploughman's lunch on a hot Summer's day? With the added benefit of not having to plough the field first! This is, as a viewer said, "a very simple affair with just the right ingredients!" Thanks for that comment! I used silver skin pickled onions here but you can use the large chunky ones, instead it's up to you. Crunchy iceberg lettuce is the best lettuce to use here too. And where would you be without the sandwich pickle and the crunchy celery sticks! I used salad tomatoes here but you could just as well use cherry or plum tomatoes instead. Cheese and pickle is a classic combination just like beans on toast is. Enjoy!
