Welcome to Olympus where the gods treat the humans like toys and people compete in all sorts of tasks. This is not your average Olympiad! Feast with the gods as we talk about Lyra, Hades, and maybe find ourselves in the Underworld instead of atop Olympus.

Recipe: Here is the recipe for the simple, delicious Greek salad. For a base you can use whatever greens you like - I typically do a mix of romaine and spinach. Now it’s time to pile on those veggies. A standard Greek salad has tomato, cucumber, onions, olives, and feta cheese. Peppers or pepperoncini also are very common additions. Here’s the deal: I don’t eat olives. They’re one of the few foods I don’t like. So my Greek salad does not have olives but, if you are an olive fan, or you want the full Greek salad experience you should definitely add olives. In lieu of olives, I like to saute some zucchini and throw that on there. It’s easy - simply toss some zucchini, garlic, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes. Then you can let it cool or put it right on the salad with the other veggies. I do like to use a bell pepper too, as well as all the other toppings I mentioned. Again, thats tomato, cucumber, onion, and feta. Lastly, pick your protein. I either use grilled chicken, chickpeas, or falafel if I have it. I have not made my own dressing yet, but any grocery store will sell Greek and/or a tzatziki dressing, depending on what you prefer. Mix it all together and enjoy!
