BBQ season has arrived and Greek Salad is a great accompaniment to anything you may toss on the BBQ. I get a lot of requests for this recipe. It is always a favourite at any gathering. Greek Salad is one of the simplest things to make and is always very popular as a side dish, regardless of the occasion. It can be made up in a hurry and is a great dish for supper or lunch, especially during the hot summer months. Just add a grilled chicken breast, steak or any kind of seafood and you\u2019ve got a really nice meal. Delicious and nutritious.<\/p>\n
