How to Make Bottom Of The Bowl Salad Greek Dressing

  1. In a large bowl with a lid, combine the following marinated vegetables: 1 cup chopped cucumber, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (halved), and 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese.
  2. In a separate jar with a lid, whisk together the dressing ingredients: 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Shake vigorously until well combined.
  3. Add 5 cups of your favorite lettuce (e.g., romaine, butter lettuce, spring mix) to the bowl on top of the marinated vegetables.
  4. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the lettuce.
  5. Secure the lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours. If marinating longer than 2 hours, pour the dressing over the veggies before adding the lettuce.
  6. Before serving, gently toss the salad to combine the marinated vegetables and fresh lettuce.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  8. **Variations:** Add other veggies like sliced celery, water chestnuts, fresh or frozen green peas, canned or fresh mushroom slices, broccoli or cauliflower florets, zucchini, or crookneck squash chunks.
  9. **Make it a Main Dish:** Add 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, cooked ham, or crumbled bacon for extra protein.
