Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 (7-9 ounce) bag mixed greens (use your favorite)

  • 1 lemon, cut in half (slice 1/2 inch small wedges; the other half is juiced)

  • Baguette chips (or thin pita chips)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Note Regarding the Olive Mix ... All of my local grocery stores have either an olive bar or olive salad found in their Deli Section. Most I have found are usually a mix of olives, cherry peppers, and often Feta cheese. So that it what you are looking for. And when buying the mix, make sure to ask for a bit of the marinade or liquid. that is what will make your dressing.

  • Step 2: Salad ... Add your greens to the bowl you plan to serve your salad in. Note, if using a bag salad, I rarely rinse them, but feel free to if you like. Then, add the olive mix including some of the marinating liquid along with the juice of half a lemon. If your olive mix does not include feta, add about 3 oz, diced. And, to finish it off ... I love the thin toasted baguettes or pita chips you can buy (usually in the bakery section of the grocery store). You can crunch them up and add to the salad for a nice finish. You just want to add a little crunch to the salad. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with the small lemon wedges. ENJOY!
