The warmer weather is here and that can only mean one thing: salad season! This year, internationally-inspired salads will be gracing our picnics, our lunches, and our outdoor evening entertaining tables. We’ve included all those delicious, classic Greek flavours - dill, mint, parsley, feta, lemon juice, olive oil… This salad is fresh and healthy, with a tangy lemon dressing. The currants add little pops of sweetness that contrast beautifully with the salty feta. It’s hearty enough to be a meal on its own (great for vegetarians), but would also go well with chicken, fish or any meat, really!
