Loaded Greek Salad

It’s a chopped greek salad. Not to be confused with a regular greek salad. We need a salad that we can shove in our mouth with a spoon. No need for a fork to pick up large pieces of lettuce.

Notes

A Greek salad is the epitome of a classic Mediterranean dish, featuring tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta cheese and a simple vinaigrette dressing. Think of a Greek salad like an extra boost of flavor – it’s always bright and flavorful, but not too complicated. On the other hand, a Mediterranean salad typically features more than just greens with proteins like fish and chicken added in for extra protein as well as additional veggies like red onions or bell peppers for crunch. It can also often contains grains such as quinoa or farro for added texture and complexity.
