Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 clove garlic, minced or zested with a rasp grater
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Vegetable oil, for oiling grill grates
2 hearts romaine lettuce, halved
Vegetable oil, for oiling romaine
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup feta crumbles
1 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
1 English cucumber, diced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Sea salt

Steps:

  • For the sweet Greek dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, oregano and garlic in a bowl. Slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking. Add salt and pepper to taste. Measure out 1/2 cup of the dressing for marinating the chicken. Set aside the remaining dressing for drizzling on the salad.
  • For the chicken: Put the chicken in a nonreactive container, pour the reserved 1/2 cup sweet Greek dressing over it and toss to coat. Marinate the chicken, refrigerated, for 2 hours.
  • Preheat a grill to medium heat.
  • Oil the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the chicken until golden on each side and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F, 7 to 8 minutes per side. Let rest before slicing.
  • For the salad: Brush each romaine half with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on high on the cut sides until slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Place a seared romaine half on a serving plate. Line up some tomatoes, feta, olives, cucumbers, onions and sliced chicken atop the romaine. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with the sweet Greek dressing. Garnish with cracked black pepper and sea salt and serve.

GREEK SUMMER SALAD



Greek Summer Salad image

This is my adaptation of the Greek "village" salad. I believe the customary tradition is to use olive oil as dressing, but I was looking for something creamy when I sat down to make the salad. If you can find it, I recommend using Uncle Dan's Mediterranean Garlic dressing mix (usually found near the ranch dressing mixes) and making your own dressing as directed instead of using premade Caesar dressing. I've only listed Caesar because it is the closest comparable dressing that I can think of. The cooking time listed is the amount of time the salad needs to chill.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup caesar salad dressing
1/2 lb cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 cucumber, cubed
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup kalamata olive (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the dressing and balsamic vinegar together for a minute or two until well combined.
  • Add the other ingredients. There is no order that works best here; the dish is meant to be a simple and rustic one.
  • If you are using the olives, feel free to add them at this time. My husband isn't fond of olives, so when I make this dish, I typically add them to my portion alone so that he doesn't have to "weed" them out. If there are no picky eaters in your family then just toss them in!
  • Toss the salad until all the ingredients are coated in the dressing.
  • Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. This will give the dressing time to thicken up and further coat the other ingredients.
  • Serve and enjoy! This is a great compliment to just about any dish and is wonderful for those summer meals when you're looking for something nice and cool to relax with!
