Greek Salad

We love Feta cheese at my house!  Anything you can put it on/in - can only taste better, right?  Another favorite is fresh garden tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers....  Really anything from the garden! With our impending move, I'm really missing those garden fresh veggies!!!  I decided to make a stop at our local Farmer's Market (for those of in Utah - Petersen Family Market).  The girls and I decided to whip up a quick Greek Salad.  You can serve it as a side, a light main dish - use it how you'd like!

Greek Salad
3 med-large garden fresh tomatoes, diced
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2-1 cup assorted olives (Kalamata/Greek/Black/Green)
1 can Garbanzo beans, rinsed
1/3-1/2 cup red onion, diced (thin)
1 cucumber, sliced and quartered
8 oz. feta cheese, crumbled

Combine all the above ingredients in large bowl.

Dressing:
6 Tablespoons Red Wine vinegar
6 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1-1/2 Tablespoons Greek Seasoning
1 teaspoon salt

Mix well with whisk or in blender.

Combine dressing and veggies.  This salad is good at room temperature but best when it can sit for an hour or more to let the flavors blend in the refrigerator.  **This is very refreshing from the fridge on a hot summer day!
You can serve it as a side, a light main dish - put it on top of some crisp salad greens or add pasta to it!
Enjoy!!
