Ingredients
- 6-8 cups chopped romaine lettuce or mixed greens
- 1 cucumber peeled and sliced
- ⅓ cup kalamata olives sliced
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- ½ small red onion thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup crumbled Feta cheese
Dressing
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ⅓ cup red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano flakes
- 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- Customizations:
- Add red pepper flakes to the dressing to add just a little kick to your salad.
- Try adding whole or sliced pepperoncinis to the salad. Warning: They are addictive!
- Add in a white bean like a chickpea or navy bean to up the protein content of your salad.
- Try adding thinly sliced grilled or baked chicken or steak after it's been tossed (this is a great way to use up any leftover meat).
- Try tofu crumbles or grilled tofu pieces spread right on top for a great source of plant protein.
- Feeling fishy? This salad is the perfect base for a nice grilled piece of
- salmon
- , tuna steak, or other hearty fish.
- If you love olives as much as I do, you might consider adding a tablespoon or two of pre-made olive tapenade to the dressing mix before serving.
- If you're not a fan of mustard or don't like Dijon, you can skip it all together or try another mustard variation, seed, or powder you do enjoy.
- A sprinkle of dill or mint in the dressing also goes well with this taste of the Mediterranean.
