Whew! It's definitely summer and hot. We love a fresh yummy salad with dinner... which is usually something thrown on the grill these days! This greek salad is one of our favorites and super fast to throw together. You can also make it a full meal deal by topping it with grilled chicken or shredded Costco chicken! Served with crusty bread or pitas... some fresh fruit... and it's a quick no cook meal!
