A true classic, Greek salad never fails to hit the spot when you are craving something light and fresh. This version uses sweet nectarines and yellow peppers to complement the vibrant combination of juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers and lettuce, sharp shallots and creamy feta cheese, bringing you a burst of freshness and rich flavours. With the addition of barley rusks (or croutons), this salad is perfect as a standalone meal when you are languishing on a hot day, or as a side at a barbecue or other gathering.

Jessica Prescott's tips
This is very good stuffed into a pitta or wrap with hummus and a chopped (veggie) sausage. Also good alongside hummus or Dreamy creamy loaded bean dip
Radishes, avocado, red capsicum (bell pepper) and dare I say, the ever-divisive green capsicum (bell pepper) all make excellent additions or substitutions
