Greek Salad with Lemon Dressing

My formula for summer meals is to pair something from the grill with a big tasty salad. This Greek salad is great with a marinated grilled chicken breast on the side or on top. You could also pair it with some lamb or pork souvlaki. If you like your salad extra saucy or if you prefer keep the salad and dressing separate to eat over several meals then consider doubling the dressing recipe.

Greek Salad
1 cucumber, seeded and thinly sliced
2 c spinach, torn
2 c romaine, torn
1/4 – 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled or diced
1 small onion, sliced
a handful of black olives (Kalamata FTW)

Lemon Dressing
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/8 tsp pepper

Toss all salad ingredients together in a large bowl. In a small covered container combine and shake/mix the dressing ingredients. Add dressing to salad and toss.

1/4 lemon juice
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Put all ingredients except herbs in a blender and blend until smooth. Add water if necessary to reach desired consistency. Stir or pulse-chop the herbs into the mixture.
