A Salad to Go . . .

My husband takes a lunch each day to work and in between those regular sandwiches, I make a salad twice a week and yesterday it was his favourite -- Greek :o)

It costs a LOT less than buying a ready-made one at the local supermarket and I can add as much of his favourite ingredients as he'd like.

There are no special quanitites, I simply tear romaine and spinach into bite-sized pieces.
I add:
  • green peppers
  • red peppers
  • yellow peppers [when on hand]
  • sliced purple onion
  • cucumber chunks [this time because I had extra]
  • a handful of black sliced olives
  • crumbled feta cheese
I put some of his favourite feta cheese salad dressing in a small container so he can add it later and use as much or as little as he wants ...

With one of those thingys that freezes and keeps things cool, this salad travels well in a lunchbag and brings a little bit of home and my heart with him to work :o)
