Greek Salad
What's great about it
My Greek Salad is a regular addition at my dinner table and what I love about it is that any leftovers can be eaten for lunch the next day. Fresh sun-ripened tomatoes - if you can get the heirloom variety that's awesome, as the flavour and colours are magnificent. Tomatoes are packed with lycopene, a power packed antioxidant and are a good source of vitamin C for the synthesis of collagen and immune function. Cucumbers provide anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits. Capsicum is a great source of beta-carotene which is an antioxidant and precursor to vitamin A, helping to promote vision and support reproduction, growth as well as a healthy immune system.
