Healthful Greek-style salad
Clean, crisp, crunchy, chunky, salty, fresh, juicy, zesty… all words to describe this beautiful summer salad. I say Greek-style salad as I’ve mixed it up a bit as I tend to be a bit disappointed otherwise if this is all I have for a meal. Here I’ve added fennel and celery for extra goodness, leaving you feeling fuller and with added healthfulness. I also use a spring onion instead of raw red onions as there is nothing worse than walking around all afternoon with onion breath!
Method
In a medium sized bowl mix together the vegetables. Add the oil, vinegar and herbs. Season well with Maldon salt and pepper and give it a good stir.
Add in the feta cubes and olives and give it another good stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.

This salad works well prepared a few hours in advance and will keep in the fridge for a day or two.”
