Instructions
MAKE THE DRESSING
- In a small bowl or in a jar with a lid, whisk or shake together the ingredients until completely combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature and shake well before using.
ASSEMBLE THE SALAD
- In a large bowl, combine romaine, shrimp, feta cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and red onion.
- Drizzle with some of the dressing; toss to coat. Add more dressing, as needed, to moisten the salad ingredients.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with pepperoncini and serve immediately with warm pita bread, hummus, and tzatziki sauce.
Notes
- This recipe calls for cooked shrimp. You can purchase cooked pre-cooked shrimp from the seafood counter or freezer case at the grocery store. When using frozen shrimp, thaw the shrimp in a colander under cold running water, and then pat it dry before adding it to the salad.
- If you prefer to cook your own shrimp at home, this marinated shrimp, this grilled shrimp, or this boiled shrimp will all work well.
- For a shortcut, purchase a bottle of Greek salad dressing instead of making your own.
