Chopped Greek Salad with Tofu Feta
 
Prep time
Total time
 
I wish I could say I eat healthy all year round, but there are definitely times (especially during the holidays) when I don't eat as many fruits and veggies like I should. So what better time than the new year to recommit to fresh, non-packaged meals? This Greek salad is the epitome of fresh. The great thing is, you can serve it over a bed of greens, wrap some up in a tortilla, or fill up a pita with it. Aside from some chopping, there's not much to prepare, so it comes together rather nicely.
