Family Style Dinner Salad

Third Item (Extra Option)

Method

Family Style Dinner Salad

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and dry the mixed greens. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the feta cheese over the salad mixture.

  4. 4

    Make Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the salad family-style in the large bowl, allowing guests to help themselves.

Third Item (Extra Option)

  1. 7

    Prepare the Chicken

    If using raw chicken breasts, season them with salt and pepper, then grill over medium heat until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.

  2. 8

    Add BBQ Sauce

    During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the BBQ sauce onto the chicken breasts, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

  3. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve alongside the salad.
