Hi everyone! I hope your week is off to a great start!

I love Greek salad… light, clean and delicious, it’s been a favorite for years! What I don’t love is all the dairy. Having noticed long ago that dairy make me feel congested and bloated, I avoid it whenever possible. But I’m creative with my diet and I came up with a yummy , easy and healthy recipe for you today that will allow you to enjoy a Greek salad without the mucous producing effects of feta. It’ll also allow you to take advantage of the delicious tomatoes and cucumbers that are just about to go out of season. If you buy organic or from farmers markets, then you know these vegetables are just bursting with flavor, begging to be tossed in a wholesome salad.

Rather than feta, I use olives and instead of Greek yogurt, I used unsweetened coconut yogurt, The results were awesome! It’s my new favorite salad.

Once you’ve tried it I’d love to hear your feedback. It’s always nice to hear from you!

Wishing you a happy week!
