Greek Salad

                                                                     Greek Salad
You haven't had salad until you've had a Greek salad. A mixture of romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomato, red onion, olives and the feta cheese. Tossed with a dressing made with lemon juice, olive oil, basil, salt and pepper. A loaf of bread and you're good to go.
             

Baklava


                                                            BAKLAVA
      This is one of my favorite desserts. Made with chopped walnuts, almonds, sugar, cinnamon, sugar and honey. Soooooooo good with a cup of coffee or tea. Also at Greek Festivals across New England they serve Baklava ice cream sundaes.
