Greek Salad A La Carte – Create a Lunchtime Potluck at Work

Posted by Correen in Articles, Food | 0 comments

I’m not sure who came up with the idea to do potluck style lunches at work…that is a small point though. It’s the wonderful creations we were so fortunate to taste that I still remember. I’ll have to say the Greek Salad days were most definitely my favorite!

Greek salad is one of those perfect meals…crunchy, soft, savory, tangy and healthy to boot! More is better too, skimping out on any of the ingredients changes the whole bowl of salad. It’s all or nothing as far as I’m concerned!

Besides giving you the ingredient check list to have a Greek Salad potluck lunch with your co-workers I thought I’d toss in a couple other ideas to help you kick off your lunchtime potlucks. If there are any naysayers, just make sure they get to hear the oohs and ahhs as all the potluck participants are eating and enjoying the meal…hedging a bet they will hop in the next go ’round.
