Greek Rice Salad was another recipe I cooked for the first time last year for our Greek inspired Christmas menu plan. This recipe was a mix of a number I found on the interent. I deliberately made it pretty simple so it would be eaten by more of the kids and adults. It made two large plates of salad.
