Healthy and delicious greek salad to bring to your next dinner party or to work for lunch! This salad is so versatile and is perfect anytime!
I love traditional greek salads that have minimal, fresh ingredients, but today, we are kicking it up a notch! This greek salad recipe contains fresh, traditional ingredients but we’ve also added quinoa, white beans and more. It’s the perfect fancy salad to dress up and bring as a side dish to a party. But also can be kept simple and easily be brought to work or school for a healthy lunch. If bringing for lunch, I like to add a bit more quinoa and white beans to boost the protein content.
Rolled cucumber ribbon: If you want to make this dish look fancy, cut your cucumber in half, then slice it length wise (creating 4 pieces). Peel cucumber into thin slices and then simply roll it up. If bringing this dish to a party, I like to make about 3-5 rolled cucumber ribbons and then chop the rest of the cucumber into regular pieces. This is a fun, yet easy way to spice up the look of a salad.
Add a bit more protein if bringing this salad for lunch…
