Today I am doing another get healthy with me post, and I think this will be the last one for a while as I have so many other ideas for upcoming content, but I feel like I will definitely be adding more posts onto this series throughout the summer.

Greek Salad
So the picture I'm showing you is actually the salad I had at a restaurant but I did recreate this at home as well (I just forgot to take pictures, I apologize)
- lettuce
- tomatoes
- olives
- cucumber
- red + yellow pepper
- feta cheese
- salt and pepper
- red cabbage
- balsamic vinegar
- bread sticks (optional)
This is a salad so it is quite self explanatory - just chop up the main ingredients and add flavor with the salt, pepper and vinegar.
I love pasta so I obviously had to add a very quick and easy recipe
- pasta
- tomato sauce
- basil pesto
- cheese
- 1 tomato
- Boil as much pasta as you require
- Once it cooks add in the tomato sauce and stir
- Add some pesto and cheese on top, and cut up the tomato placing it on top of the pasta as well
This is going to be it for this post. I hope that you liked these recipe ideas and that you try them out. Let me know in the comments which one is your favorite. Recently I've been loving trying out new recipes and I enjoyed making this post for you guys. They are all quick and easy to make. Have a great week and I will talk to you very soon!
