Mediterranean Bread Salad

This Mediterranean Bread Salad is just about the most perfect salad for me. I grew up on Mediterranean food and absolutely love just about anything that has feta cheese or kalamata olives. Add a piece a grilled chicken to this and it’s a whole meal!

Level of Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Prep Time – 20 min; Marinate/Mix Time: 30 – 60 minutes

Ingredients:

 For the salad:

Romaine Lettuce

Chick Peas

Red onion, sliced

Tomatoes

Feta Cheese

Kalamata Olives

Cucumbers, Sliced

Stacy Pita Chips, Naked Flavor

For the Dressing:

Juice of 3 lemons

1/4 c. olive oil

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 T. fresh mint, finely chopped

1 T. fresh oregano, finely chopped

Salt and Pepper to taste 

Preparing Mediterranean Bread Salad:

Prepare the dressing by whisking all ingredients together. Let sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Put all salad ingredients together in a bowl EXCEPT for the feta cheese. Let sit for about 15-20 minutes. Add the feta right before you are ready to serve. 

Important Tips:

Make sure you let the flavors of the dressing come together before putting it on the lettuce.
