National Salad Month Recipes

I am sharing a salad that I made to go along with a Greek dish that I made called Kreatopita that I paired with a Greek Wine.  It was an amazing meal.


As you read this post I am currently on vacation in the Caribbean so please forgive me for the brevity as I leave to go under the sea for this mornings scuba adventure.
