Chopped Mediterranean Salad with Lemon Herb Vinaigrette
I love this Mediterranean Chopped Salad because you can make a giant bowl and eat on it for days!
Or in our case you can make it two days in a row because it’s that good!!
We’re definitely on a salad kick right now and I’m loving it.
And my body is pretty stoked too!
The keys to a great chopped salad are 1) fresh ingredients, 2) a variety of colors and textures, and 3) a dressing that compliments but doesn’t overpower.
Make it your own with your favorite Mediterranean ingredients – you could easily add or sub Kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, capers….
The perfect dressing for this Mediterranean Chopped Salad is our Lemon Herb Vinaigrette.
I chose fresh oregano and parsley as our herbs and added a teaspoon of dried oregano as well. The fresh lemon juice and red wine vinegar add a gentle one-two punch.
Our Mediterranean Chopped Salad was a hit at my sister’s birthday celebration dinner.
We paired it with gorgeous grilled ribeye steaks and au gratin potatoes. We brought the Steakhouse dinner in-house and it couldn’t have been better.
I mentioned making this salad two days in a row.
Truth.
We devoured it the first night, so I made Mediterranean Chopped Salad again and served it with grilled chicken and shrimp for a light dinner. So delicious!
