Balanced Greek Salad

I absolutely love a good greek salad and could literally live on it. However, if that’s all I am eating, I am sometimes hungry a couple of hours later. To avoid this, we are turning it into a complete and balanced meal by adding some lentils and quinoa to provide the benefits of whole grains and legumes. This simple twist ensures you will feel full and satisfied in the tastiest way possible!
