#1,004: Paleo Greek Salad



In case you haven't noticed, I've been following the paleo diet/lifestyle for almost 30 days now.  I was afraid going away for the 4th of July was going to be difficult to stay on track but it really wasn't.  And I was able to introduce my family to a bunch of new paleo (or mostly paleo) recipes.  This was one of those recipes and we all enjoyed it. 

Dressing:
1 cup White Wine Vinegar
1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Crushed Capers (optional)
Zest and Juice of 1 Lemon
1 tbsp Greek Seasoning (McCormick’s is dependable and sugar-free)
1 tsp Kosher Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper

 

Paleo Greek Salad
4 cups Chopped Romaine
1 ½ cups Tomato Chunks
1 ½ cups Cucumber Chunks
¼ cup Chopped Purple Onion
¾ cup Kalamata Olives
¾ cup Pepperoncini Peppers (optional)
1 cup Paleo Greek Dressing


Dressing
Combine all ingredients together in a large measuring cup and stir well.

Salad:

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss with the salad dressing.
