Five Dollar Dinners: Greek Salad

Winter is the season for all sorts of warm and hearty foods.  You might have a steaming bowl of stew for dinner one day and then a plate of mac 'n' cheese the next.  It's a delicious and warming way to go, but it can also be very heavy and fatty.  When I'm feeling like a need a light, fresh pick-me-up, I like to make Greek salad either for lunch or for dinner.  The beans help make it more than just a simple salad:

Greek Salad (for four)
Lettuce ($1 for half a head)
Tomato ($.50 for one)
Cucumber ($.50 for half)
Garbanzo beans ($1 for a can)
Feta cheese ($1 for two or three ounces)
Olives ($.50 for five or six and then cut them)
Dressing ($.50 for a few tablespoons)
