This salad from Chatelaine is supposed to serve four, but it was so good the two of us ate it all in one sitting. This is a great way to use up the green beans, cherry tomatoes and fresh oregano from your garden.
Avoiding Additives and Preservatives
Use a red wine vinegar with no sulfites added, such as Eden Organic brand. Look for shrimp and feta with no additives or preservatives. For more recipes using all-natural ingredients, visit Eye For A Recipe.
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil

- 1 cup (250 ml) cherry tomatoes, halved if large
Preparation:
- Whisk oil with vinegar, oregano and garlic in a large bowl until combined. Season with fresh pepper.
