A Great, Skinny Greek Salad

Americans love Greek Salad… Look on the menu of most restaurants and you’ll find one.  They’re loaded with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta and olives.  All good-for-you stuff.  The problem is most Greek salads are also loaded with fat and calories.  Restaurants pack on the cheese and toss in high-fat dressing.  This skinny salad [...]
