Feta & Olive Salad

This is such a simple, healthy, low calorie solution for when you're looking for something light to eat! Now that I am back to work in the office I need some more cold lunchbox solutions since we can't really be using the microwave etc right now... Plus, since I'll be sat most of the day I need something super light on the carbs but filling enough to not make my tummy cry 2 hours later!

I love feta cheese in salads, it adds a delicious tangy flavour! Plus olives are obviously the perfect match to go with them! I would usually dress this in some oil but I wanted to keep the fat content down so just opted for some light seasoning. This is honestly the simplest of simple dishes and that's what makes it so perfect for a quick lunch throw-together!
