Copyright ? 1998 American Diabetes Association MC Formatted & Busted by Barb at Possum Kingdom on 3/26/98 NOTES : 6 servings/Serving size: 1/6 recipe To many, this is known as kalokerini salata, a Greek summer salad. For others, it is a colorful salad that may have first been tasted in a local Greek restaurant. It is wonderful and easy to make, especially when garden vegetables are at their prime. For best results, always use feta cheese and Kalamata olives. Recipe by: http://www.diabetes.org/ada/rcptoday.html Posted to MC-Recipe Digest by "abprice@wf.net" <abprice@wf.net> on Mar 26, 1998
