Greek Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette

Recipe

Salad Ingredients

• 6 cups chopped lettuce (romaine or a crisp mix)
• Sliced tomatoes
• Sliced cucumbers
• Kalamata olives
• Crumbled feta cheese
• Pepperoncini peppers
• Optional Greek chicken

Greek Dressing Ingredients

• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar (with a dash of red wine if you want extra flavor!)
• 1 garlic clove, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

• Make the dressing: In a small jar or bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
• Prep the salad: Add chopped lettuce to a large bowl. Top with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta, and pepperoncini.
• Add optional protein: Slice cooked chicken and layer it on top. Garnish with green onions and more feta.
• Dress it up: Pour the red wine vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine—or serve dressing on the side.

Tips:

• If you’re not going to eat all the salad at once, keep the dressing on the side so the salad will last longer
• The salad mixture is fantastic stuffed inside of a warm pita if you need a little extra something!
