MEDITERRANEAN FETA SALAD . This is one of those incredible salads that packs the perfect texture and flavor with every bite. And a dressing so fragrant you’re going to want to put it on everything. . As always, feel free to make whatever substitutes you like - these are just my starting point, so feel free to use it as your own canvas and go from there! . Here is how I made it: . 1.For the base, I used a container of peppery baby arugula. About 5oz. . 2.To the base of arugula, add 3 finely diced Persian cucumbers, 1 cup of sliced baby heirloom tomatoes (I just cut these in half), 1/3 of a finely diced red onion, two very large handfuls of fresh flat leaf parsley finely and roughly chopped. And finely, one handful of fresh mint, finely chopped. The herbs add a ton of flavor here. . 3.To elevate this further, lets add three superstar ingredients. I diced up about 1/3 cup black cured olives - you can use kalamata, too, but these are my favorite for this recipe, 1/3 cup of toasted and cooled walnuts (I just toast these in a pan on the stovetop, let them cool, then chop finely), and 2 blocks of feta cheese to crown this up. . 4.And finally, the dressing. Grab a small food processor or blender. Add 1/3 cup of a GOOD olive oil, the juice of 1 large lemon, a small pinch of sea salt (dont overdo it since the feta is salty), a generous amount of fresh cracked pepper, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon Aleppo pepper, the zest of 1 large orange (this is where you will get a stunning aroma that will really take this salad to the top. . 5.Process the dressing well, give it a taste, and adjust however way you wish. I like mine lemony, so i almost always add a little more lemon juice. But you do you. . Toss the salad well, and devour. You can enjoy this as is, or with your favorite protein - chicken, shrimp, or a piece of white fish would go great, but its pretty versatile. . ENJOY! If you make this, be sure to let me know on SHREDHAPPENS. I love seeing your dishes and hearing from you. . . . . #lowcarb #lowcarbrecipes #salad #saladrecipe #keto #ketorecipes #healthyrecipes #whatsonmyplate #goodmoodfood #mediterraneanfood #mediterraneanlife
