Chop Chop Mediterranean Salad

Foodblog (9 of 12)

As promised, here’s my take on the Mediterranean salad that I’ve had a few times recently. First at Burton’s Grill and then at my friend Emily’s house, inspired by Burton’s.

The base is a rainbow of veggies – cucumber, bell pepper, tomatoes. Mix and match your colors : )

Only high quality olives will do in this case. I love kalamatas and got a mix of different ones from the olive bar at Whole Foods that were seasoned with some red pepper flakes which made the recipe extra spicy. Already pitted a plus!

This recipe is my favorite type – throw everything together and mix! Couldn’t be easier.

I added white beans to the mix to add some more protein and make it more of a meal salad, but you could also toss in cubes of chicken, shrimp or fish.

The dressing is a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Simple and bright!

I added cubes of dilly havarti cheese (the best part!) but of course feta would be more traditional.

    looks delicious! what do you mean by fresh olives? uncured? would olives in a jar not work?

      Fresh instead of jarred which I don’t think are as good. Maybe you’ve found some good ones!

        This recipe sounds delicious! Even the olives at Whole Food’s probably come out of a jar. 😉 I doubt they brine all of the different types/flavors in house.

          Sure, well maybe I should have said “high quality” olives or “olive bar” olives : )

    The salad looks delish! But I can’t seem to take my eyes off that cheese.

    Yum! I’m going to try this recipe without olives and with chickpeas instead of the cannellini beans 🙂 Thanks for the great recipe idea! Pinning.

    I always forget to make yummy salads like this without the lettuce. Not that there is anything wrong with lettuce but a good chopped salad can be such a delicious almost decadent break from the norm! Great idea!

    I’m curious if you refrigerated it before serving or just served at room temp?

    Mediterranean salad is one of my favorites, so I was really excited when I found this recipe. I did a little minced garlic to the dressing (just because I love garlic). It was fantastic.

    I have to tell you I made this on Wednesday night and we LOVED it!!!! what an awesome combination. I also used the dill harvarti and then I added in some hearts of palm as well, because we love them. It was a great addition. I think avocado would have been delicious in it too. Oh and the olives…I used my favorite whole foods mix from the olive bar and it was perfect. It’s for sure on the menu for next week! Thanks for sharing
