Madd about S-A-L-A-D! [#4]

Just a lil update on the working out plan... Hubs & I have been going to the gym faithfully 3-4 times a week WOOooooOOOHoooOOOO!!!
And so far I have lost 2 lbs! Yay! Small start but that is fine with me b/c it's something!
So far I have managed to cut out chocolate & soda from the diet [that's a huge deal for me!]
Happy Shedding!
Here is my fav recipe of the week!
Enjoy!





Serves: 4

Greek Salad with Warm Pita Crisps

Serves: 4
The perfect combination of high-quality, fresh ingredients is what has leant this salad its longevity. Pita chips are perfect for scooping up that last cube of feta cheese.
Ingredients
4 pieces pita bread, quartered
½ tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
10 oz./285g romaine salad greens
1 cucumber
1 tomato
1 cup black olives
2 green onions
½ cup Greek Dressing (see below)
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions: Preheat oven to 350° F/175° C.
Place the pita on a baking sheet. Drizzle the bread with olive oil. Sprinkle with dried oregano, salt and pepper. Place in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the pita is crisp.
While pita is toasting, assemble the salad. Add cucumber, tomato, black olives and green onions to the base of the Quick Chef. Turn handle to coarsely chop. Combine the salad greens, cucumber, tomato, olives and green onion. Toss with ¼ cup dressing. Top with the cheese and warm pita. Serve immediately.
