- INGREDIENTS:
- Spinach or whatever type of lettuce you have
- Falafel (I get the frozen kind from Trader Joe’s – takes 1 min in microwave to make!)
- Cucumber
- Avocado
- Bell peppers – 3 bite-sized peppers sliced
- Hummus
- Feta
- Greek salad dressing (in this one I combined the feta and dressing, and had a feta greek dressing!)
- OPTIONAL ADDITIONS: Tomatoes, red onion, olives, chicken
- DIRECTIONS:
- Slice your veggies
- Warm up your protein (falafel or chicken)
- Assemble your salad! I put big spoonful of hummus in the middle, and drizzle with dressing
- TIPS: I almost always add hummus to my salads! It adds extra protein and healthy fats and helps me cut down on the amount of dressing I use. Traditionally, Greek-style salads use tomatoes, onion, and olives and either do not have lettuce, or use more “crisp” lettuce (iceburg). I used spinach in this because it is what I have, and spinach has way more vitamins and minerals in it!
- Pros: This salad is easy; awesome for meal prep; and you can make it however you like it!
- Cons: Depending on how many veggies you put in this, there is a lot of chopping involved in this salad.
