So what are the measurements for this I need a What hi and welcome my name is Karina and today we’re making a Greek salad this is not just any Greek salad I actually went in dive in the web and try to find recipes for a healthy Greek salad I try to make an emphasis on that because just because it’s a salad
Doesn’t mean it’s healthy so Greek salads alone are some of the healthier ones but we’re going to make a really good healthy Greek salad today for a salad first thing you need is lettuce if you want to make a chicken salad let’s get some chicken out red onion cucumber a green bell pepper
Cherry tomatoes pepper chis Greek calamada olives and some feta cheese so let’s start by chopping up the Cucumber the bell pepper and the onion thank you and the onion just so they’re ready when it’s go time so the way I’m thinking about doing the cucumber is maybe little cubes just
So that way it’s very easy to Eat so now I’m going to start cutting the bell pepper so I’m just going to cut up a little bit of the top I personally like to do a little bit of the bottom too I think I think I’m going to do small chunks with this as well just
Because the salad you don’t want something too big in [Laughter] There as I’m cutting the pepper I do like to get rid of a little bit of the inside here that’s just a personal choice I just want to keep the little green Parts so thankfully I don’t have to cut the tomatoes oh cuz they’re cherry tomatoes they’re already washed so now we’re going to get our H Romain lettuce and it’s already washed so I don’t have to wash this one thank you target we’re just going to put it in a
Bowl this always Le a taste whatever you like so the way I would like to do this I kind of want to make it like a cup salad you know when you get like a line of each Ingredient Oh FAA actually has way more calcium than other types of cheese so that’s why it makes it so good calcium is good for your bones means it’s good for your bone density meaning it can help you with issues like arthritis or or osteoporosis final step we can add some
Pepper chinis and some olives so I didn’t want to put them in with the rest of the things cuz I feel like olives and peppercinis you kind of have to go with what you like so it’s up to taste I don’t like olives a whole lot so I’m just going to put a
Few but I love peppercinis so I’m going to put a ton so look at this looking all good big plate salad waiting for you but what’s a salad without dressing so we’re going to make our own dressing because that’s the healthiest type of dressing you can get is when you make it
Yourself so let’s make it so these are all the ingredients we need to make our dressing we need garlic lemon red wine vinegar oregano and basil olive oil and the J M mustard and of course Salt and Pepper we’re using the olive oil as a base for our dressing so you may
Wondering if it’s healthy why are we using oil well that’s because it’s olive oil olive oil can be good for your health in moderation and we’re going to mix with other few good stuff in there So with the lime juice I like things very very bitter and limey so I’m going to put a little extra that’s a good thing about making your own dressing if you want more garlic you can add more garlic if you want more lemon you can add more Lemon Then to finish it off we’re just going to do salt and pepper to Taste That’s a little too much let see how it goes going to mix it one last time as I was saying you can make the dressing however you like I like the chunkier pieces of garlic but if you like it more fine you can always put in
The blender to get it real thin or you can just cut it a lot Thinner Take a moment to appreciate all the colors in the salad something with all these colors something so pretty and colorful it’s good for you so take a look at this salad we’re ready to eat this looks so good um I don’t need cheese H so I think I’m just what okay so since I don’t eat cheese my husband’s going to eat that one so now I’m going to remake mine had to make one for me with no cheese thankfully I got everything
