    Greek Salad 2 Ways

    My Granddaughter wanted a "Greek Salad" to take to school for her lunch.
    Technically its not a true Greek salad, as I added other tasty bits

    A company called Sistema here in New Zealand makes an excellent container, which is perfect, particularly for this kind of lunch.

    In The bottom you put the main ingredients
    then there is another section that you pop on the top and you can keep the dry from the wet, so to speak
    The ingredients are very simple
    Cucumber, Tomato and Feta cheese
    choose the amounts that suit you
    I removed the seeds from both the cucumber and the tomato to stop them from going soggy
    For this exercise...for 1 person, you will need

    1/2 cup  seeded and diced cucumber
    1/2 large tomato, seeds removed and diced
    2 tablespoons crumbled Feta cheese
    Sea Salt and Freshly ground Black Pepper
    1/4 avocado diced
    2 tablespoons french dressing
    1 rasher of bacon fried and broken into pieces

    In the bottom bit I placed the Cucumber. Tomato and Feta
    In the top
    Diced Avo dressed with the french dressing in one compartment and Cooked bacon in the other

    Put them together and pop on the lid
    Voila Lunch
    All she had to do was mix them together when she was ready to eat

    My other Granddaughter who was home sick and I, decided that we wanted to have this for lunch as well
    I stretched the idea a bit further

    Cucumber, cherry tomatoes halved, Feta cheese, red pepper, Avocado and cooked prawns
    French Dressing as well
    Cleo didn't want the Prawns or the Avo
    So I dressed half the basics on one side of the platter
    then added the Avo and Prawns to the other

    Dressed it with French Dressing
    Lunch for us
    Perfect
