Chopped Greek Veggie Salad
My friend Lori and I took a fabulous Knife Skills Cooking class and created this outrageous Greek veggie salad. You can add anything you like to this as it is very flexible. We added Farro which was good but I think just as delish without it. Use a high quality feta and some delicious Kalamata olives!
