Serve this dressing with lettuce, feta, olives and chopped fresh vegetables from the Athens Farmers Market such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and onions. Feta cheese is produced locally by Greendale Farm and Split Creek Farm, both available from Athens Locally Grown.
And did you know olives have a history of growing in Georgia? They were grown primarily on the coast, first brought by the Spanish and then by English planters. It’s believed that olive trees growing on St. Simons Island and Cumberland Island were gifts from Thomas Jefferson.
