To make this Greek inspired salad more filling, we add a little cooked pasta, but adding some protein is a nice idea, too. Try topping the salad with baked lemon garlic chicken breast or simply roasted shrimp.
You Will Need
Greek Salad
1 cup warm cooked pasta
4 cups lettuce mix
1/4 cup halved and sliced cucumber
Handful thinly sliced red onions
Handful cherry tomatoes, halved
Handful Kalamata olives
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
Yogurt Dressing
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
1 to 2 teaspoons Sriracha hot sauce, depending on how spicy you want the dressing
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Directions
Toss pasta, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, olives and feta cheese into a large salad bowl.
Make the dressing by blending the yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, feta cheese and Sriracha hot sauce in a blender or small food processor until smooth. Taste then adjust with salt, pepper, vinegar, or more Sriracha as needed.
Add a few spoonfuls of the dressing to salad then toss until well coated.
