    Mediterranean Salad

    Quick and Easy!

    If you need a quick-to-prep salad, this fresh Mediterranean Salad is one of our go-to favorites. It combines flavors of home grown sun-kissed summer, but you can make it all year long with its readily available ingredients. The salad features cucumbers, tomatoes, Buffalo Mozzarella and a citrus vinaigrette. It's considered a Greek salad and it's as fresh as they come.

    Full of Nutrients!

    Just dice some cucumbers, slice grape tomatoes, add cubes of Mozzarella and minced jalapeno and Voila! Crunchy, soft, snappy, bright -- Mediterranean Salad is a great combo of flavor and texture. The colors say "Eat me!" And it's loaded with nutrients like vitamins C, E and K, as well as potassium, folate, and lycopene. There's even some protein!

    How to make Mediterranean citrus vinaigrette dressing

    Ingredients in the flavorful dressing include basil and dill. Actually, you could substitute any fresh herb for a delicious outcome. This fresh Greek cucumber tomato salad is perfect for a barbecue, or side dish for almost any meal. Some days you can find me eating it as a main dish for lunch! We hope you'll like it as much as we do.

    Enjoy!
