Servings3 large bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 large head romaine (or 2 small)
  • 1 cucumber (I use English/hothouse)
  • 1 1/2 cups grape/cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 15 oz. can garbanzo beans
  • 1 cup cooked beets (I use organic Love Beets brand)
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts (I use jarred)
  • 2/3 cup Kalamata olives

For the Greek-style dressing:

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2-3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp. water (or broth)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/8 tsp. salt

Instructions

  • Make the dressing: Mince garlic and add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Roughly chop romaine. Slice cucumber (peeled if desired), beets, and onion. Halve/quarter artichoke hearts (and olives and tomatoes if desired).
  • Place romaine on serving plates. Add toppings. (Have fun with presentation!)
  • Stir dressing and spoon over the top. It’s strong so start small. Or simply add your own favorite dressing.

Notes

Yield: Recipe makes about 3 large salads or 6-8 small salads.
Other additions: Clover/alfalfa sprouts, bell peppers, roasted red peppers, vegan feta, fresh herbs, etc.
