summer salad

a huuuge thank you is in order to my dear friend christina for providing me with an authentic recipe for a homemade greek salad (check out her blog at http://appetitedeluxe.blogspot.com/ for more drool-inducing creations).

i stopped by trader joe's on the way home yesterday, and per instruction, picked up a tomato, cucumber, red onion, heart of romaine, feta cheese, and kalamata olives. chop everything up, throw in a large bowl, and toss with olive oil and balsamic vinegar (i actually used a greek dressing that was in my cabinet). top with salt and pepper. i also added some shrimp for bulk (it's a long time between lunch and dinner).

albeit, it didn't look quite this professional, but it tasted just as good.
