Greek Salad with Tahini Dressing Recipe
Everything associated with Greeks is good looking and delicious, be it the men or the food. Here is a Greek salad with a seducing taste and looks so good on the salad platter, people like me will rush to get their cameras.
An easy to make dish that has the potential to steal the limelight from all others and be the talk of the table. High on vegetables which obviously make it a low on cholesterol and all other nuisance, it is the perfect side dish to go with any dinner even or even lunch, a pool part, bar b q or when you feel like pampering yourself in the evenings on the lounge couch.
