Best Romaine Salad With Feta Dressing And Kalamata Tapenade Recipes

FETA ROMAINE SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients. Drizzle over salad; toss to coat. Serve immediately.

EASY TOSSED GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine lettuce, cucumber, olives, tomatoes, red onion, and cheese.
• Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar, cover and shake well. Pour over salad and toss to combine just before serving.

CHOPPED GREEK SALAD

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).

GREEK-INSPIRED GRILLED WEDGE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk oil, balsamic vinegar, and mixed herbs in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper.
• Place romaine halves cut-sides up on a work surface. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Grill romaine, cut-sides down until slightly caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Plate grilled romaine cut-sides up. Top with tomatoes, cucumber, onion, feta cheese, and olives. Drizzle with dressing and serve.

GREEN SALAD WITH CREAMY FETA DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
• In a blender, combine the feta, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, olives, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, some pepper and the onion mixture. Blend until smooth.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH CUCUMBER, RED ONION AND FETA

Steps:

• Thinly slice the cucumber halves. You need just 1 cup. In a bowl, combine the cucumber with the onion and sprinkle with the salt. Mix, then let sit for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the romaine in a large salad bowl. Break the feta into small (1/2-inch) pieces and drop them into the bowl. Gather the cucumber and onion in your fist and squeeze out any excess moisture. Scatter them over the romaine. Sprinkle the oil and vinegar over the salad. Grind pepper over top and then mix the salad gently so that you dress it without mashing the cheese to bits.

FETA TAPENADE

Steps:

• Blend Kalamata olives, green olives, lemon juice, anchovy fillets, garlic, thyme, and rosemary in a food processor until coarsely chopped; transfer to a bowl. Slowly drizzle olive oil into the olive mixture while stirring. Fold feta cheese into the mixture. Season the tapenade with black pepper; stir.
