This is a nice twist to the usual salad or vegetables. Mint and feta give a nice flavor and the kalamata olives give a salty punch. This goes great with grilled chicken and tastes very good on a warm day. You can marinade chicken breasts in some olive oil, chopped fresh dill/parsley/garlic cloves, salt, pepper - very similar to salad dressing below. Let sit for a couple hours or overnight.
