Another healthy salad sandwich!  I’m on a roll!  (Get it?  Roll?  Ha…?)

• 1 cucumber, seeded peeled chopped
• 3 plum tomatoes, chopped & drained well
• 1 can quartered artichoke hearts, drained well
• 1 small red onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup halved Kalamata olives
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 3 tbsp each chopped fresh mint and oregano*
• salt & pepper to taste - easy on the salt, the olives and the feta may be enough

Mix everything together.

Serve in pita bread w/ hummus.

*Not in the original recipe, but obviously needed!

Warm weather = salads.  Finally!  This was delicious as a sandwich filling, but would also be good with some shells or rotini for a picnic pasta salad.

• 2 cans good-quality tuna
• 1 can quartered artichoke hearts, drained well & coarsely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, chopped
• 1/2 small red onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup each chopped fresh basil & parsley
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)
• salt & pepper to taste

Mix everything together in a bowl.  Eat.
