Luna Grill Salad Dressing Recipe

by

With fresh vegetables like tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, and cucumber plus high quality oil like olive oil mixed with Apple Cider Vinegar, Maria’s Greek Village Salad recipe is the ideal heart-healthy dish to serve at your table. It is best served with a slice of toasted whole grain rustic country bread, which is delicious for dipping into the salad.

Listen to Maria talk about this while she makes the video with ABC 10 News here. Fun fact: Did you know that a traditional Greek salad does not contain lettuce? The reason is that it is very difficult to harvest and come by in this area.
