This yummy, colorful greek salad is definitely one of my warm weather staples. Naturally vegetarian and gluten-free, it is a perfect healthy, light dish. It pairs well with practically any dinner main, especially shish kabobs, turkey burgers or grilled chicken. Or, serve it on its own for an easy, healthy lunch. And besides a lot of chopping prep, it is a pretty simple, straightforward dish. Enjoy!
