I ate a fantastic Greek salad at the hotel we stayed at in Baltimore for Fitbloggin. It made me crave MORE Greek in my life so I had to go get some ingredients to satisfy my appetite!
For my salad base I used a mix of baby greens & romaine lettuce.
Ever see this AWESOME container from Progressive before? It keeps my lettuce crisp & fresh all week! Not only lettuce- so many more items!
Back to the ingredients!
Tomatoes!
Feta! This is a reduced fat version that I picked up. Not as creamy, but just as flavorful!
I wanted to add some protein- so I added on some garbanzo beans.
Ya can’t have a Greek salad without the Kalamata olives! & I wanted a little kick so I tossed on some mild pepper rings. So good!
If you wanted a little crunch factor you can top it with croutons too!
Now for the dressing!
Greek Dressing
Recipe Makes 5 ounces (10 Tablespoons) 7PP for the whole jar OR 2TB for 1PP
- 2oz red wine vinegar
- 1oz olive oil
- 1oz water
- 2TB lemon juice
- 1 TB dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano

I love this Pampered Chef salad dressing mixer!
All mixed up!
Whatcha waiting for? Go get your GREEK on! 
Happy Friday Everyone!
BYE!
Can I have mine without the tomato and olives? Is it still a greek salad then? :P
ReplyDeleteThat just made my mouth water. I love Greek Salad.
ReplyDeleteHoly yum! And that lettuce thing looks awesome. I need one!
ReplyDeleteHold your tongue in between two fingers and say "Garbonzo Beans, Garbonzo Beans."
ReplyDeleteYou laughin' yet?
I LOVE Greek Salad! I add cucumbers and green peppers too! YUM!
ReplyDeleteGrog reek salad is so good and filling. Love that you made your own dressing.
ReplyDeleteI have a super-simple greek salad: halved yellow pear tomatoes, diced cucumber, then dressed with a tiny bit of olive oil and sea salt. I know, simple, but it really hits me just right, and is great hummus or falafel.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm back! You were so so supportive to me, and just wanted you to know that because of many things going on, I absolutely must get my health, and that of my family's, as under control as possible. Would appreciate it if you can take time to visit my blog again, from time to time.

Hi, just found your blog. That looks like a great salad and the dressing sounds yum-o. Also I just ordered a couple of those Progressive containers for veggies hoping that it would keep them fresh longer. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteLooks so yummy! Now I want a greek salad :)
ReplyDeleteThe salad looks DELISH, and I'm going to try that dressing- looks easy enough!
ReplyDeleteOne click Amazon Prime ordering is going to be the death of me. TJ says 'have you seen this lettuce keeper?' I think, hm no I haven't...one click later I've ordered it! WTG TJ! lol
