Greek Lunch Box Salad with Feta Cheese and Mint Dressing:

A robust and flavourful salad which makes a perfect lunch box meal to take to work on a 5:2 diet fast day; this is Greek style salad comprises mixed peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, spring onions, Feta cheese and black olives, all bound in a minty dressing. On a non fast day this is DELICIOUS when packed into a hot pita bread as a lunch time sandwich, and crusty bread also makes a wonderful accompaniment.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small cucumber (Halved lengthways and with seeds scooped out, then cut into slices)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeked and crushed)

  • 1 small green pepper (de-seeded and sliced)
  • 1 small red pepper (de-seeded and sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons low calorie or low fat vinaigrette dressing (such as Weight Watchers)
