This healthy salad is loaded with the flavors of the Mediterranean, including crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, black olives and seeded green peppers. This savory version includes all the traditional ingredients but only a fraction of the fat. Fat free vegetable broth is the secret ingredient in the salad dressing that makes it both light and tasty. The vegetable broth cuts down on the amount of oil that is needed, reducing the calories. Fresh oregano enhances the salad dressing. Try it with toasted pita bread. You can also add grilled chicken to the salad for a heartier meal.
