CHOPPED GREEK SALAD

Chopped Greek Salad image

This Greek salad recipe is the best! It features chopped romaine lettuce and colorful garden vegetables, plus irresistible olives, feta cheese, and a simple Greek vinaigrette. Recipe yields 6 to 8 side servings or 3 to 4 meal-sized servings (that's a lot of salad!). If you store the salad separately from the vinaigrette, it will keep well for up to 4 days.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

10 ounces chopped romaine lettuce* (about 2 medium or 3 small heads, chopped)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 medium cucumber (about 8 ounces), seeded and chopped
1 yellow or orange bell pepper
1/2 medium red onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup pitted and halved Kalamata olives
6 ounces feta cheese, sliced into 1/4" cubes (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Pinch of red pepper flakes, for heat (optional)

Steps:

In a large serving bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, onion, parsley, olives and feta. Toss the ingredients together and set aside.
To prepare the vinaigrette, combine all of the ingredients in a liquid measuring cup and whisk until blended. Taste, and add more vinegar if you'd like a more tangy dressing, or more honey for a more tame dressing.
If you'll be serving all of the salad at once, go ahead and drizzle enough dressing in to lightly coat the salad and toss to combine. I prefer to store the salad and dressing separately so I can enjoy salad for a few days. Whisk the dressing again before drizzling (if the olive oil solidifies a bit in the refrigerator, don't worry, that's normal-just let it warm up for about 5 minutes at room temperature or microwave for 10 to 20 seconds).

ROMAINE, FETA AND GRAPE SALAD

Romaine, Feta and Grape Salad image

I discovered this salad looking for a different use for romaine lettuce. I used green seedless grapes but I think red or black would be prettier. I love the sweet pop of the grapes with the saltiness of the feta. The dressing i s lovely too. From Food Network and Daisuke Utagawa

SUNDAY'S FETA, DILL, LEMON, AND ROMAINE GREEK SALAD

Sunday's Feta, Dill, Lemon, and Romaine Greek Salad image

This is an extremely simple, yet wonderfully delicious salad that I make when I see freshly made Feta in the grocery store. It was introduced to me as a child, and ever since then...well I am an addict :) I have also made every friend of mine that has tried this one as well. If you like lots of lemon, you like dill, and you love feta, you will love this salad!
