Feta and Crouton Salad

Feta and crouton salad is a deliciously simple salad bursting with Mediterranean flavours. This healthy filling salad is an excellent main course.

This feta and crouton salad is so easy to make and has a simple home made low calorie dressing to go with it.

It’s one of my favorite dinner salads to make when I'm pressed for time.

I'd say it's kind of like a Greek salad although it doesn't include tomatoes or cucumbers.

But it definitely still has that unique taste of the Mediterranean!

Uncomplicated and fresh, this feta and crouton salad is a great summer dish.

It's rare here in Scotland for it to be hot outside (although it does happen occassionally)!

So the last thing I want to do is spend time hovering inside over a hot stove when I need to grab those precious few moments outside.

That's why this recipe is perfect as all that's cooked are the croutons and they only take ten minutes.

If you're lucky enough to have a garden filled with different types of fresh lettuce then this recipe would be perfect.

You could use your lettuce here instead of buying a bag of mixed lettuce leaves as I have to.

Every year I think to myself how nice it would be to grow some produce in our back garden and every year I fail to do that. LOL!

I'm just too busy at work or whenever I plan to do it the weather turns!

Tips When Making Your Feta and Crouton Salad

• Cut your wholemeal bread for the croutons early. Leave it to go stale before adding the olive oil and garlic.
• Use cubes of feta rather than crumbled feta. I find that crumbled feta gets lost in the dressing, when I want to taste it!
• Serve the salad immediately. It is best served fresh straight away rather than being in the fridge as it will go soft and limp.
