Greek Salad

3 medium tomatoes, cubed (use your judgment if you are substituting grape or cherry tomatoes as to amount)
1/2 small bell pepper diced
6 ounces pitted kalamata olives
3-4 small cucumbers sliced
1/2 small red onion
8 ounces feta, cubed

Dress with:

1 t minced garlic
1 t dried oregano
1/2 t salt
pepper to taste
3 T red wine vinegar
6 T olive oil


Along with the other Greek recipes, I found this at recipetineats. So good!

    Greek Lemon Potatoes

    2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thick wedges1 1/2 cups chicken broth1/2 cup olive oil1/3 cup lemon juice2 t minced garlic1 T dried oregano2 t salt
    Toss all this together, and put in a roasting pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350, toss again, and bake 20-30 more minutes. 
    If you want them crispier, put on a foiled baking sheet and drizzle some of the remaining oil on them, and bake another 20-30 minutes.

    Another recipetineats find and SO good. Lots of flavor!

      Greek Chicken

    • Marinate chicken legs, wings, thighs, or breasts in the following for several hours or a day:
    • 2 T minced garlic
    • 2 T white wine vinegar
    • 1/2 C of lemon juice
    • 2 T olive oil
    • 3/4 C Greek yogurt
    • 2 t dried oregano
    • salt and pepper to taste

    • After marinating, place on a cookie sheet lined with foil and lightly coated with olive oil or cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, turn and baste with marinade, and bake again till golden brown - 20-30 minutes. 

    • I found this recipe on RecipeTinEats and it sounded so good. I served it with Lemon Potatoes and a Greek salad. It all really hit the spot and was easy to make.
