Greek salad with tuna

I always seem to sort out the main part of the meal and then at the last minute wonder what I am going to put with it.  Here is a simple salad that will go with many meat dishes and is particular delicious with quiche (I'll post a great quiche recipe soon).

It doesn't take very long to throw together and if you want to save even more time, you can use store bought dressing.


GREEK SALAD WITH TUNA
Serves 4 as a side salad

  • 1 cup whole cherry tomatoes or 4 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 200g fetta, cubed 
  • ¾ cup kalamata olives, pitted
  • ¼ red onion, finely sliced
  • 1 lebanese cucumber, sliced
  • ½ gourmet lettuce, sliced
  • 210g can tuna in olive oil, drained

     Dressing

  • 2 Tbspn balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp wholegrain mustard


Step 1 - Mix all salad ingredients in a large bowl & toss gently.

Step 2 - Prepare the dressing by combining all ingredients in a jar.  Shake well.

Step 3 - Immediately prior to serving, pour dressing over the salad.
