Mediterranean Chopped Salad
by: claire cary
This mediterranean chopped salad is perfect for a crowd or a meal prep lunch recipe! It's protein packed, incredibly flavorful, easy to make and loaded finished with a simple olive oil vinaigrette.
Ingredients
Salad
- 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce about 2 heads
- 1 cup chopped grape tomatoes
- 1 large cucumber diced
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 2 cooked chicken breasts diced
- ½ cup pepperoncini
- ⅓ cup feta cheese
Dressing
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoons dijon mustard
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ¾ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and chop your lettuce. Add to a large mixing bowl.
- Add in all remaining salad ingredients. I like to use this vegetable chopper for the cucumber, tomatoes, onion etc. so they're very finely diced.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing. I like to use this salad dressing shaker.
- Pour the dressing on top, using as much or as little as you like!
- Toss the salad and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Green leaf lettuce also works great here!
