MEDITERRANEAN SPRING SALAD WITH FETA CHEESE

Category: Salad

1/2 lb small new red potatoes
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 crushed garlic clove
1/2 tsp dried oregano and dried basil
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground pepper
6 cups mixed salad greens
1 large tomato, cut into thin wedges
1 green pepper, cut into thin rings
1 small purple onion, cut into thin rings
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbled

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water about 25 minutes or until they are tender. Drain well, and cool to warm. Thinly slice and place them in a serving bowl. In a jar or measuring cup combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic, basil, oregano, pepper and salt. Mix well with a whisk or place the lid on the jar and shake. Pour over potatoes and marinate for 1 hour.

Drain the marinade off into a measuring cup, and set aside the potatoes. Place the greens in a large salad bowl. Arrange the potatoes, tomato wedges, green pepper, red onion, cucumber, and Feta cheese over the greens. Serve with the marinade on the side for a dressing.
