Mediterranean Chopped Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl large enough for tossing salad, add diced chicken breast.
• Chop the romaine and add to salad bowl. Toss in the cucumber, olives and red onion and set aside.
• In a sealable jar or container with a lid, combine red wine vinaigrette, Greek seasoning and crumbled feta cheese. Seal lid and shake vigorously.
• Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine. Divide among chilled salad plates and garnish with extra crumbled feta cheese and sliced tomatoes.

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, Dijon mustard, shallot and garlic. Slowly whisk in the oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified. Season with salt and crushed red pepper to taste and then fold in the herbs. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To make the chopped salad: In a large bowl gently toss together all the ingredients. Season the salad with salt, pepper, dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes to taste. Dress the salad with the vinaigrette and serve immediately.

• Combine all ingredients in bowl.
• Chill for 30 minutes.
• This needs to be served within an hour of preparing. If you need to have stand longer, keep the cukes separate and add at last minute. This is due to the cukes "sweating" and therefore watering down salad.

Steps:

• For the salad base: Add the radishes, corn, parsley, cucumbers, scallions, tomatoes and red onion to a large bowl.
• For the dressing: Whisk together the lemon juice, honey and garlic in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the tahini. Whisk in the water a little at a time until the sauce is smooth, creamy and the consistency of slightly whipped cream. Whisk in the cumin, cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Taste and add more salt if desired.
• For serving: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss with tongs to combine thoroughly; season with salt and pepper. Serve pita chips alongside it for scooping.
