Yes I am still alive – I just have been too busy at work to blog 
Grape tomatoes are on sale at my local store this week so I picked up a container to make my favorite salad.
No real recipe here – I just throw everything in a bowl and mix.
Base ingredients I always add:
Grape tomatoes (halved if you prefer)
Cucumber – sliced and cut in fourths
Canned garbanzo beans – drained and rinsed
Feta cheese – I love the peppercorn flavored feta
Black olives – sliced or left whole
Bottled Greek vinaigrette dressing (or Italian – whatever I have on hand)
Other ingredients I occasionally add
Whole wheat pasta
celery
red/green bell peppers
Mix all together and let sit for at least an hour. YUM!
I really love Mediterranean flavors – fresh tomatoes, olives, feta. I think I could be really successful doing the Mediterranean Diet if I liked to eat seafood.

Hi Julie!!!
Sounds like my kind of salad!
I think you should try the mediterranean diet! You don’t have to like fish – lean meats are fine as well! I just wrote about it on my blog this week! I love the mediterranean diet, it is wonderful and is not even a diet at all!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
