I suggest any number of delicious low fat low cost Greek recipes. My favorite is the simplest - the ubiquitous summer Greek "horiatiki (village style)" salad:

fresh tomatoes, diced
sweet onion --cut in thin rings,
Cucumber, diced
green pepper diced
oregano, olive oil (xtra virgin tastes better on cold salads), a touch of good wine vinegar, salt and fresh pepper--all shaken together and poured over the salad

Sprinkle on top some good feta cheese(preferably goat or sheep's milk) Tyr some fresh olives too---kalamata or the little black ones are used in Greece, but you can use whatever you like...pits removed.

Of course let the salad sit for awhile and then you can mop up the juices with a crusty slice of day old (or any kind) of bread.

Kali orexi!
