Help! Greek Salad Recipe Please
      #287131 - 23/12/2008 12:06

ED has asked me for the greek salad recipe from a M&S recipe book entitled 'Salads'.

She says "I think the last time I saw the book, it was on the book shelves in my old bedroom".

Well, I've had a complete clear out since she left home and can't remember ever seeing such a book.

Please save me!

Has anyone got a recipe for a greek salad?

Thank you, thank you.

Easy! Find a Greek woman or man and ask them to make salad = Greek Salad!

Hope that helps.

Loo

Cucumber,feta cheese, tomato, lettuce, olives, Virgin olive oil.

This is how OH makes it and it is about the only thing he does make in the kitchen. We go to Cyprus a lot and it is his favourite- The Feta cheese should be in small pieces and not too much oil.

Hope that helps

Gosh Girls, I knew you would come up trumps. I will email ED with all the recipe's and the weblink and then she can choose. YD has been scooting round in her lunch break cos, ED thought YD had it at her house.

I made a Greek salad during the summer for a BBQ: one guest, who should be nameless, spat out the Fetta because it was too salty and then said he would try the grapes (olives) instead... silly b...er
