I love Greek inspired food.

Back when I lived in Kent, I used to frequently go to an amazing Greek restaurant with my 3 of my best friends and we would all share a Meze (a selection of dishes), it is the best sharing meal ever, especially when accompanied by good friends and drinks, and often involved getting up on the tables afterwards dancing and having fun.

Lunch today wasn’t really prepared, I wanted pasta, but didn’t fancy the usual tomato based sauce. So decided on a yummy pasta salad.

GREEK PASTA SALAD

So with main ingredients sorted, it was down to the dressing, as lets face a salad of any kind is pretty boring with out dressing.

Olive oil, Fresh lemon, fresh mint, maple syrup, salt and pepper.

Sometimes you just have to use a few syns to make a decent dressing and this was one of those time.
