Dinner Club Mediterranean Greek Salad and Mediterranean Couscous

Hey there, welcome back.  I'm finally going to post some of those recipes from Dinner Club last week!  I'm still waiting on some people to send me theirs but here's what I've got so far.


This salad was served at our most recent Dinner Club and was made my my neighbor Anjanette. 

Mediterranean Greek Salad

3 Cucumbers seeded and sliced - or substitute 2 hothouse cucumbers.
1 1/2 C. crumbled feta cheese
1 C. black olives, pitted and sliced
3 C. diced Roma tomatoes
1/3 C. diced oil packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained, oil reserved
1/2 C. red onion

In a large salad bowl toss together all the ingredients with 2 Tbsp. of the reserved oil from the sun dried tomatoes. Chill until ready to serve.
