Panera Greek Salad
Description
Panera Greek Salad pairs fresh, crisp romaine lettuce with flavorful toppings including halved grape tomatoes, crumbled feta, and grated Parmesan cheeses. Thin rings of red onion add sharpness while kalamata olives contribute a salty, briny contrast. Pepperoncini add a mild heat and tang.
The accompanying Greek dressing blends apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and dried herbs like oregano, thyme, and basil, along with garlic and seasoning. This dressing brings a herbaceous and bright flavor that complements the fresh vegetables and cheeses.
To serve, toss the salad ingredients with the dressing or serve the dressing on the side. The salad works well as a light lunch or side dish with Mediterranean or grilled foods.
The dressing can be prepared up to five days in advance and stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container. It should be shaken or whisked before use to recombine the ingredients.
