Heirloom Tomato Greek Salad

by Pam on July 30, 2014

I had quite a few smaller heirloom tomatoes so I decided to make a salad by adding some cucumber, onion, feta, and kalamata olives to the tomatoes then tossed them with some of my leftover Fran’s Vinaigrette^[1]. I let the salad sit for 20 minutes to let the flavors mingle before serving with dinner. The tomatoes were so flavorful and delicious and paired nicely with the crisp cucumber, tangy olives, and salty feta. It was a nice flavorful salad the we all enjoyed – perfect for a hot summer evening.

Place the tomatoes in a bowl and add the cucumber, onion, and kalamata olives. Season with a bit of sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste then drizzle with the vinaigrette. Toss to coat evenly then let it sit for 15-20 minutes for flavors to mingle. Sprinkle the top with feta cheese right before serving. Enjoy.

Chilled Watermelon Cucumber Feta Salad

Chilled watermelon and chunks of cucumber are tossed with feta cheese, Kalamata olives, fresh mint and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It’s that salty-sweet thing going on here that’s so good – and will keep you cool as a cucumber during these dog days of summer.

This is the ONLY salad I want this week; temperatures are going to be in the high 90’s all week long here in New York. During these sultry months, I usually make my watermelon salad with arugula, feta and red onion^[1], but I loved this new combination with cucumber, mint and olives for an alternative, and a great way to use up any cucumbers you may have lying around.

You can double this to make a big bowl for a crowd, or cut it in half if you want to serve two. This makes a great side dish to grilled chicken, or seafood.

Mediterranean Chicken Wrap

by Pam on April 9, 2014

I was craving a simple and healthy lunch so I went to see what I had on hand. I grabbed a flour tortilla, roasted chicken, mixed greens, Fran’s Vinaigrette^[1], kalamata olives, red onion, and feta cheese from the refrigerator and grape tomatoes from the counter. I tossed them all together then wrapped them up in the tortilla. It was so delicious! I seriously ate it in minutes because it was so good and I am really thankful I have enough of everything to make for tomorrow’s lunch too. Yay! Quick, easy, and healthy – a perfect lunch!

Make the vinaigrette – click here for the recipe^[2].

Heat the tortilla in a microwave for 10 seconds so it becomes pliable.

Combine the roasted chicken, mixed greens, kalamata olives, red onion, feta cheese, grape tomatoes, and Fran’s Vinaigrette^[3] into a bowl. Drizzle with a bit of the Fran’s vinaigrette, to taste then season with a little sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Toss to coat evenly and place into the center of a flour tortilla. Roll then cut in the center at a diagonal. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
