Greek Salad
I absolutely love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. It’s something that helps me to disconnect from the busy world and decompress. I’ve fallen in love with baking sourdough and it’s been one of those things that have helped me find my love for the kitchen again after becoming a mom.
I used to share recipes weekly, so I am getting back into the habit of doing so. This easy recipe is perfect for the summer and would be great for a pool day, vacation snack, or Greek-inspired dinner. My Greek salad is so simple, and the flavors are incredible.
