GREEK SALAD WITH STEP BY STEP PHOTOS

by Tina Basu

Hey, I am back with a new salad recipe today – it’s Greek Salad time. It is so hot in India that I don’t feel like eating anything. This Greek Salad is just perfect for this sultry summer. Its fresh, tasty and it refreshes and hydrates you. I love Greek Salad!


HEALTH BENEFIT

Cucumbers are so good for you, negative calorie, and hydrates you like you just had water

Tomatoes are very good for your skin

Romaine Lettuce is a good source of Vitamin A, K and C; Folate and manganese

Olive oil I can’t tell you how good it is for the body
Ok today I have step by step photos so just follow them.

I make this too and everyone loves it. Adding Paneer cubes is an interesting option 🙂
