Good Greek Foods for Weight Loss?

[ssherie_]

It's a bit of a cliche but new year, new health goals! I thought I would make a list of some healthy Greek dishes. Please chime in with any suggestions. I have a few pounds to lose, but more than that, I love that the Greek diet can be so healthy!

** Greek lentil soup
** Homemade Greek country bread
** Cabbage salad
** Village salad
** Vegan stuffed grape leaves
** Anything with chick peas!

What are your favorite dishes?
