No olive oil greek salad!

I love greek salad, but I don't have it that often because the olive oil really adds a lot of calories (119 per Tbsp, to be exact). But today it dawned on me to try it just with the white wine vinegar and oregano and it was delicious! I get all the flavor of the greek salad, for a mere 108 calories per serving! It's so obvious now that I've tried it. Anyway, thought I would share that in case anyone else loves greek salad like me :)

    Not a big Greek salad fan, but olive oil doesn't scare me. It's a "good" fat, which your body needs, so I just have it in moderation. I would maybe cut it in half so you get the benefits, but only half the calories.

    Extra virgin olive oil is the best... too bad you took it out :( you can drink it, it's that good for you!

    Oh yes, I know olive oil is a good fat, and I won't be cutting it out entirely, that's for sure. I enjoy it too much. I was just quite amazed at how much of the 'greek' flavor was retained by using just the vinegar by itself. :)
