Greek Chopped Salad – made with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, peppadew peppers, bell peppers, feta, and chickpeas.
They are basically the same thing. Both are made with cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, red onion, feta cheese and olives. Then tossed with an olive oil and red wine vinegar vinaigrette.
You can use olives if you like them.
I love peppdaew peppers. I originally discovered them because Panera puts them on the Mediterranean sandwich. They have so much flavor. I have a recipe for that Panera sandwich if you are looking for something to use up the rest of your peppers. You can also find peppadew peppers on the olive bar in your grocery store if you don’t want to buy a whole jar.
You could top the salad with crushed pita chips. Or add some lettuce and grilled chicken to bulk up the meal a little. It would also be great served with some salmon.
The best way to keep this salad from getting soggy is to remove the seeds from the cucumbers and tomatoes. The prevents there from being any excess liquid.
However, this salad doesn’t really get too soggy since there isn’t any lettuce in the recipe. So you could definitely make it ahead of time.
