It’s All Greek To Me Salad

March 17, 2015

There’s something so greatly satisfying about Greek salad. Loaded with antioxidant-rich veggies, the simple dressing allows them to shine in their natural glory. And the Tofu Cheese makes for a nice sub for feta.

Makes 3-4 servings

Ingredient List:

Dressing:

  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • Generous pinch dried basil
  • Sea salt
  • Cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sweet white miso
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon brown rice syrup

Salad:

  • 1 large head Romaine lettuce
  • 10-12 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium cucumber, cut into fine matchstick pieces
  • 1 small red onion, cut into very thin half-moon slices
  • ½ pound Tofu Cheese, coarsely crumbled
  • 10-12 oil-cured black olives, pitted, halved

Step By Step Instructions:

Prepare the dressing. Whisk together all ingredients, with salt and pepper to taste. Chill completely to develop flavors.
