Greek Salad

"In Greece, we always serve this salad to accompany lunch or dinner. It is very easy to prepare. The secret is in the freshness of the vegetables, and the quality of the cheese and the olive oil. You should select Greek feta cheese and good Greek olive oil. I suggest visiting the grocery markets in the area where local producers sell really fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables."
