Greek Salad

After all the pastries, cookies and desserts we've been eating, I thought it was time for a healthy dinner. Greek salad it is. The only problem was I was out of Red wine vinegar. I found some Rice wine vinegar, and added a bit of Sherry wine to act as the red wine vinegar would. The result-it was even better. The tartness was gone, and it had a perfectly sweet flavor to complement the rest of the salad.

I do have to confess that I took this photo with my iPhone..I have let the battery on my camera run out four days in a row. So I had to resort to this. But not to worry-it's been charging all night, and I'm good to go for today!
