This salad is really delicious, especially with leftover ham from the holidays. I also make it with diced ham steak, or without the ham altogether. I add more black olives and feta than called for. Makes a great workday lunch.
Mediterranean Vegetable Salad with Ham
Eat the salad with pitas on the side, or spoon into pita halves to eat as a sandwich. But pack the salad and pita separately so the bread doesn't become soggy.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 cup salad and 2 pita halves)
