Easy Greek Salad

·

This is a great Greek Salad that is great as a side dish or eaten on it’s own as a light lunch or snack. It can also be easily prepared ahead of time and stored in a mason jar for a quick on-the-go meal.

To store it in a mason jar add the dressing to the bottom of the jar and layer as such: tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, garbanzo beans, feta and olives. Simply store in the fridge, grab and go, then mix it up when you are ready to enjoy your salad.
