Greek salad is a year-round favorite. We lightened up the dressing by cutting out some oil and then added water to “stretch it” a bit. Broth works just as well. Turn this recipe into a main dish by adding some strips of grilled chicken, lamb or beef. For an easy way to dice the tomatoes, we used a spoon to scoop out the core of the tomato. We then used a sharp knife to cut the tomato in half. Then we cut each half into even slices before cutting across those halves.
