Greek Diner Salad

:  April/May 2005, The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006)

Your rating: None Average: 4 (7 votes)

The secret to this New York diner-style salad is to dice the vegetables to the same size, so that the flavors can meld in one bite. The tangy dressing really perks up the vegetables and makes this dish a stand-alone entree or a zippy accompaniment to barbecued or roasted meats.
