Done!I make a big salad at the beginning of the week. When I need lunch I just grab a bowl and add a tablespoon each of olive oil and balsamic vinegar (or lemon juice) and an ounce feta cheese. The dressing and cheese are not included in the recipe as I kind of mix up what goes on top of the salad.Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LEITHB.
