Med Salad


Med Salad
  • 3 cups dried fusilii or cavatappi pasta, cooked, drained, and cooled
  • chopped green leaf lettuce
  • 1/2 bag of pre-washed spinach
  • 1 halved and sliced cucumber
  • 1 orange bell pepper sliced and cut into small pieces
  • 1/4-1/2 of a red onion thinly sliced
  • 
1 1/2 cups of grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 jar of kalamata olives, drained
  • sprinkle of feta cheese, crumbled
  • Toss all the salad ingredients & add desired amount of spicy yogurt salad dressing to your portion.
Spicy Yogurt Salad Dressing
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 garlic clove, minced
  • 
2 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
  • 
2-5 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce (depends on how spicy you want the dressing)
  • salt and pepper to taste
I combine these ingredients in my blend-tec blender on the sauces/dressings setting and it works perfect.
