Cut tomatoes into eighths.

Can I add lettuce leaves to a Greek salad?

Traditionally, lettuce leaves don't go in a Greek salad, but if you'd like to include them in this salad, go ahead! We suggest roughly chopped cos lettuce, as the crisp leaves will tie in well with the other ingredients.

Is fetta cheese healthy?

Greek fetta cheese is a good source of protein and calcium, but like most cheese it is a source of fat, plus it is relatively high in sodium. This salad has 50g fetta per serve, but you can reduce the portions or omit altogether, if you prefer.
