Lettuce Salad with feta cheese

When I first moved to the US and when it was confirmed that it was Wisconsin, the first thing that got me hooked to the place was the cheese. Well it was a tough battle between the weather and the cheese. The cheese dragged me to the place and the weather kinda wanted me to get shooed away. So the cheese, Wisconsin specializes in Cheese and the cheesecurds here are the best. Ever since I came here, I have been eating cheese to my hearts content and I have been happy with the local cheese. So my salads and pastas have always got an extra helping of cheese and that is how I love them these days.

After all that eating and bingeing all through the holidays and there after, which is clearly visible in my blog, I have decided to go salads and green smoothies and here is a very simple salad for a start.

~*What U Need*~
Iceberg lettuce - 1 head, rinsed and dried
Tomato - 1, deseeded and cubed
Onions - 1/2 sliced
Olives - 1/4 cup, chopped
Feta cheese - 2oz, crumbled

For the dressing
Lemon juice - 1 tbsp
White wine vinegar - 1/2 tsp
Olive oil - 2-3 tbsp
Salt, pepper - to taste
Honey - 1 tsp
{Mix everything and whisk well}

How I Made it:
Chop the lettuce into chunks. Mix lettuce, tomato, onions, olives in a salad bowl. Top with feta cheese. When serving drizzle the dressing, toss well. Serve with a healthy grating of parmesan cheese.

Serve with some wine!!!
So thats it Folks...
With Love,
