Salad

A habit I have is making a ton of something and then eating the same thing for several days in a row. Hey, if it tastes great, I’ll eat it again, and usually it’s all gone before I start getting sick of it. I mention this because someone I know, for some reason, bought a giant container of crumbled feta cheese and gave me a bunch of it. I need to eat it up before it goes bad, because I hate wasting food. It being too hot to want to cook, I decided to make a Greek Salad.

Start with a bed of fresh spinach. Sprinkle on some crumbled feta, sliced red onion, sliced pepperocinis, thin-sliced cucumber, and canned black olives. For some protein, and because it’s too hot to cook, I shredded rotisserie chicken and added it. Use a caesar dressing, oil and vinegar, or tzatziki sauce.

For variations, try leaving off the pepperocinis and black olives, and using grapes and tzatziki sauce or oil and vinegar. Make a dressing out of the pepperocini juice, olive oil, fresh ground black pepper, and some paprika (I leave off the pepperonis and just chop one up in the dressing for this).

You can take the above ingredients and stuff them into a pita pocket or make a wrap, if you want some carbs. Use more chicken, and I suggest using tzatziki sauce so your sandwich doesn’t get messy or runny.
