Greek Vegetable Salad With Herb Vinaigrette Food

GREEK VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• In a serving bowl, combine the cucumber, tomato, green pepper, onions, olives and feta cheese. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the dressing ingredients; shake well. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat. Serve with a slotted spoon.

CHOPPED GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, onion, parsley, olives and feta. Toss the ingredients together and set aside.
• To prepare the vinaigrette, combine all of the ingredients in a liquid measuring cup and whisk until blended. Taste, and add more vinegar if you'd like a more tangy dressing, or more honey for a more tame dressing.
• If you'll be serving all of the salad at once, go ahead and drizzle enough dressing in to lightly coat the salad and toss to combine. I prefer to store the salad and dressing separately so I can enjoy salad for a few days. Whisk the dressing again before drizzling (if the olive oil solidifies a bit in the refrigerator, don't worry, that's normal-just let it warm up for about 5 minutes at room temperature or microwave for 10 to 20 seconds).

EASY GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Make dressing: Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, vinegar, oregano, and dill together until blended. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. This can be prepared 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Re-whisk before using.
• Combine salad ingredients: Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, olives in a bowl. Toss with dressing. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.

FETA & HERB "GREEK SALAD" PENNE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly browned and the tomatoes are just warmed through, about 3 minutes.
• Add the olives, pasta and the reserved pasta cooking water to the pot and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the arugula until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle with the Greek Feta Herb Vinaigrette.

• Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes per side. Let the chicken cool for a few minutes and then slice.
