This is a year round go-to favorite salad of mine!!
Sometimes, the simplest salads are the best. Like this 21 Day Fix recipe for Greek Cucumber Salad that has only 5 ingredients. Cucumber and onion go perfectly with salty feta and kalamata olives. Chopped fresh dill is a flavorful finishing touch. Finish it with a drizzle of good balsamic vinegar or make this yummy Lemon Caesar Dressing. It’s a great make ahead salad for a picnic or to pack for lunch.
For those following the 21 Day Fix Eating Plan, this salad uses 1 green, ½ blue, and ½ orange container.
