Marinated Greek Salad

This is a favorite salad recipe from my mother-in-law...SO yumm-o.  The original recipe calls for a cup of olive oil but I feel that that's too much.  A 1/2 cup or even a 1/4 cup is enough and saves on calories.



Marianted Greek Salad
Ingredients:

• 2-3 plum tomatoes, chopped
• 1 English cucumber, chopped
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red or yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small jar capers, drained
• 1 small can sliced black olives, drained
• 1/2 lb. crumbled feta cheese
• 2 or 3 small dill pickles, chopped
• 1/2 c. olive oil
• 2-3 Tbl. lemon juice
• 2-4 tsp. dried oregano
• 3 tsp. minced garlic
• 1 tsp. dried basil
• 2 Tbl. red wine vinegar
• salt and pepper, to taste

You can add or subtract veggies according to taste.  Just mix and enjoy!
