Pamis Chunky Chopped Salad Food

PAMI'S CHUNKY CHOPPED SALAD

Steps:

• 1. I take my time cutting larger thick pieces of the cucumbers by laying it out peeled and slicing it lengthwise four ways. Then cutting crossways into thick pieces. Add them to a large bowl.
• 2. I do the same for the tomatoes. I want squared chunks. It makes for the hearty feel of the salad. Add chopped tomatoes to the bowl with the cucumber.
• 3. Then I take a large square of Feta cheese and make small squares. Throw in about a handful of Kalamata olives or black olives.
• 4. Chop the onion into small pieces. Chop the green onion knobs and all into thicker pieces.
• 5. Add onion and green onion to the bowl.
• 6. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, chopped garlic, fresh lemon, basil, herbs, salt, and pepper. Pour over the salad. Gently toss the whole thing together to coat. Serves 4. To double, add more of each ingredient.
• 7. Options. I enjoy a chopped hard boiled egg, marinated artichoke hearts, chopped fresh spinach ( LOTS OF THAT). I have added raw almonds or pecans. But usually don't. It's very light and tasty. Now if you don't like Feta cheese, I chopped squares of Swiss or Muenster or some dill flavored cheese instead. You can do almost anything. The thicker pieces make you feel fuller and more satisfying so you arent think THIS IS JUST A SALAD. I also have had anchovies or other olives added too. If any is left, I place in plastic wear and give it a shake. Then I serve it chilled later.
