Chopped Greek Salad

Image
Raise your hand if you’re ready for warm weather and refreshing green salads! I may have jumped the gun on spring and summer veggies here, but I just couldn’t wait any longer. It feels like spring here in Kansas City today and I’m celebrating with Greek salad. This chopped Greek salad is crisp, fresh and overflowing with bold Greek flavors,  including tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, Kalamata olives and feta cheese. I opted for cherry tomatoes, since they’re delicious no matter what time of year. Combined with crisp lettuce and a simple homemade Greek vinaigrette, you have a big, irresistible Greek salad. Here’s my trick to making the best Greek salad:  I chop the ingredients small. That way, you get maximum fresh flavor in every bite.

Black and Blue Salad

This salad for two has all the components of a steak house-style dinner in a simple, low-calorie main dish salad. And it's ready in less than 20 minutes. Resting the steaks is important, as it retains juiciness. If you were to cut a steak without resting, the juices leach out of the steak and the texture and flavor would be compromised. Also, if you haven't made your own Blue Cheese Dressing before, now's the time to start: It's preservative-free and with much fewer calories. Active Time 10 Mins Total Time    15 Mins Yield  Serves 2 (serving size: 1 salad and 3 tablespoons dressing)  Ingredients 2 (4-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks  Cooking Spray  4 cups sliced romaine lettuce hearts (1 1/2 hearts)  1/2 cup vertically sliced red onion  2 plum tomatoes, each cut into 6 wedges  Blue Cheese Dressing  1/2 to 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper How to Make It Step 1 Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat steaks with cooking spray. Add
