Salad Variations
Mediterranean Salad – Orzo Salad with Grilled Chicken
This salad uses orzo pasta instead of lettuce. It’s topped with chickpeas, olives, cherry tomatoes, feta, and fresh dill. Adding grilled chicken is optional and adds great depth. I like topping with a lemon and dill vinaigrette that includes extra virgin olive oil, oregano, and a splash of red wine vinegar.
Mediterranean Salad – Kale with Baked Chicken and Feta
This salad starts with baby kale tossed in extra virgin olive oil. Top with fresh cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and olives. The main ingredients are the baked feta and chicken thighs. I enjoy this with either a balsamic vinaigrette or peanut sauce.
Mediterranean Salad – Farro and Feta
This simple salad starts with a bed of romaine lettuce and is topped with red onions, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese. The grain is farro, a classic Mediterranean ingredient. This salad pairs well with your favorite Greek or lemon vinaigrette.
Additional Recommendations
These salads, especially the Orzo Mediterranean Salad, pair extremely well with Traditional Basil Pesto. Try adding some over the top for another layer of flavor.
In some cases, pairing a salad with a salad sounds weird. In this case, our refreshing Heirloom Tomato Salad is a complimentary appetizer.
