I was looking for something I could make that had oodles of delicious feta cheese, but also kept it fresh/light! So I made this version of Greek Salad. Enjoy!!

This salad was inspired by Britta. She's vegetarian and I wanted to make a heartier and more filling salad to go with our favorite starter-hummus, cashew cream cheese, Gorgonzola and cheddar with either flat bread or toasted baguette slices. The combination of salad and starter already makes for a full dinner.

Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend :) A brand new week ahead of us and I am hoping that it is a good one for everyone. I am back with a salad again today, and this one I know that everyone knows and has tried :) the Traditional Greek Salad, or otherwise known in Greece as "Choriatiki Salata" which translated into English means "Country Salad" or "Village Salad"This reminds of a story, my Dad had a really great sense of humour sometimes his jokes were just to funny that my stomach would hurt from laughing so much, but sometimes he would say things that were just so nonchalant...This is really funny but you need to understand Greek to be able to understand. We had gone to a Greek Tavern in Chasia which is an area in Athens that mainly has Greek Taverns. :) We were just about to order the appetisers when my dad turned around in a very nonchalant way and asked the waiter if they had "Vlaxiki salata" instead of saying "Choriatiki salata". We had never heard this salad referred to as Vlaxiki Salad, we had a good laugh and so did the waiter!! :)The truth is that back in those days the Villagers would grow there own tomatoes, cucumbers, so when working in the fields they would have a Tomato, Cucumber a few olives on a napkin to eat. So the term Vlaxiki Salata comes from how they used to eat, as years followed the named changed to Greek Salad, or Choriatiki. :) My mom grew up in a village so she told me that back then this is what my grandfather use

This is just my version of a favorite simple, light and tasty dish. I didn't have any cilantro tonight, but highly recommend it in this dish so included the amount I usually use.

In summer 2009 in NY, there was not even a day that the temperature went over 30℃ until the middle of August. Finally, it became summery at the end of August, so I made this summery dish. The cape gooseberries I bought at the farmer's market were delicious, so I made a salad with them.I made my own version of the Greek summer salad, Karpouzi Me Feta. It's delicious if you chill the ingredients first, and lightly toss with the dressing. I recommend using a rather firm peach or nectarine as it's easier to handle. (I used a white nectarine in the salad in the profile photo.) For 2 servings. Recipe by dreamy-kitten

Tipical salad from greece, very fresh but not the lightest of all salads!!! (It can seem like a lazy way of adding the cheese to the salad but they do It like this in most places from greece)

I like to have a salad with every meal. This is quick and easy. You can substitute and add any types of veggies you prefer. But this is my everyday salad!

The new virtual thing going around is people making salad bars in their refrigerator. Well I rent and have an older refrigerator, and i don’t have the room but think its a great idea. Then the snackle box come out and went viral and people started to do salads bars like this as well. This is how i came about doing this. I just use what we like. My teens likes chef salads so i try to stay with them ingredients.There’s also a women known as the salad bar mom who has a restaurant style salad bar in her house for her family of 11 , what is a great idea . so for me this style set up with my snackle boxes will have to do forMy family of 3 for now until i can afford a commercial prep station or my family gets bigger lol 😂My teens love this they can pick whatever just like at a restaurant, they say they feel fancy and its just like a restaurant just a mini salad bar.Since 2020 most of the salad bars and buffets are gone so this is a nice option. I noticed after I started doing this i dont miss them over price salad bars/ buffets and my family is eating more salads/ veggies if i have it like this easy and assessable.So far i have done this 3 times now and about on the 3rd day i have to restock it just depends on how many getting out of it and how often, i just do this for lunch time with 2 teens and one adult getting a salad so it does last.

I had some couscous salad at my favorite Moroccan restaurant. It was so delicious that I just had to ask how it was made. Here's my recreation using easy-to-find ingredients. This salad has become part of our regular menu.Make sure to mix the couscous with the other ingredients once it has been heated. It absorbs the flavor well and will taste much better.Harira (Moroccan Soup) -Chickpea Dip -For 2 servings. Recipe by Kuminchan

I had a few extra veggies in the fridge and didn't want anything to go bad, so I thought the combination sounded worth a try. Make sure the button mushrooms go in raw. They help to soak up some of the excess juices from the other vegetables and add a delightfully light texture to the mix :)Enjoy!

I like it and if you look at most of the salad dressings they have wayyyy more fat in them. :hungry

I have seen a lot of different Italian pasta salads, so I decided to try and do one but I couldn't find the one that I wanted to try, so I ended up just buying stuff that I wanted in it. Nobody in my household would try it besides myself and my youngest daughter. She loved this so much that she kept asking for more. The only thing that she picked out of it was the tomatoes. I will definitely do this again, but I think that I might make a few changes just to make it different. The ham for instance, didn't really go with because I had gotten honey ham. I think regular ham would be better.
