This recipe for Mediterranean Chopped Salad is a long-time favourite in our home. We love the colour, the crunch and the rich flavour of vegetables, garlic and herbs.

Ingredients for Mediterranean Chopped Salad
Start with the basics: cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, and red onion, then customize it to your family's tastes. I added cannellini beans, but you could substitute chickpeas or cooked quinoa as I did in this Garden Fresh Mediterranean Quinoa Salad.
Keep it Greek by adding Kalamata olives, (or omit them if you have olive-haters in your group!) Top those beautiful colours with crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese and transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Toss those colourful veggies and protein-rich beans with a simple Greek dressing made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon, garlic and herbs and enjoy!

This Mediterranean Chopped Salad is an ideal choice for a potluck.
Here's a salad that won't get passed over!
It's also great for a picnic. We took it camping recently and munched away in the sunshine on the beach. With no lettuce or greens to turn limp or slimy, this salad stayed fresh, crisp and crunchy.
I hope this becomes one of your "go-to" recipes, too.
