Spiralized Greek Cucumber Salad with Lemon and Feta

ByElina

This light cucumber Greek salad is the perfect meatless summer dish. Trust me, you’re going to want to make this all summer long! Fresh cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, olives, red onion, oregano, lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh feta – it’s filling, high in fiber and protein, perfect for lunch or dinner!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 seedless English cucumber (about 7 ounces)
  • 1/4 of a green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/3 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 5 pitted kalamata olives
  • 1 tbsp red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 fresh lemon
  • 1 oz fresh feta, sliced thick
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves, minced

Steps

  1. 1.Spiralize the cucumbers using the chipper blade on the Paderno spiralizer. Cut the strands into smaller pieces, about 5-6 inches long so it’s easier to eat. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can just dice the cucumbers with a knife into small cubes.

  1. 2.Place the cucumber in a large work bowl along with the bell pepper, tomatoes, olives and red onion. Squeeze half of the lemon over it, drizzle with half of the olive oil and toss with fresh oregano, salt and pepper. Place on a plate, top with a slice of feta and finish with remaining olive oil.
Enjoy!!

Cranberry Avocado Spinach Salad with Chicken and Orange Poppy Seed Dressing

While I didn’t make this salad on Christmas I’m really wishing I had another serving of it now! Yes this may sound a little strange, I had my doubts as I was brainstorming the idea of this salad in my mind, but I’m telling you it is one of my new favorites! It has such exciting flavors that all blend so amazingly well together! We all know that cranberry and orange were made to go together but when you add in creamy avocados, salty feta cheese, crunchy toasted almonds and a slightly sweet poppy seed dressing incredible things just happen. Then of course I added grilled chicken because I wanted to make a meal out of this, plus I just love the flavor of any kind of orange chicken so I knew this salad needed it.
