Mediterranean Salad with Tzatziki Dressing

I have been really craving Greek food lately, so yesterday I decided to make a simple Mediterranean salad with Tzatziki dressing. This salad is super healthy and so easy to make at home for a quick but delicious side to dinner.

For the Tzatziki dressing:

• 1/2 cucumber, peeled and diced
• 2 tbsp diced onions
• 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (I used Chobani)
• 1 glove garlic, minced
• 1/4 tsp dill

Unlike the regular Tzatziki sauce, I left the seeds of the cucumber because it helps the consistency to be a little bit more runny, which is ideal for salad dressings. Combine all ingredient in a food processor or blender until even mixed. This makes about 1 cup.


Mediterranean Salad

• 1/2 cucumber, diced
• 1 whole tomato, diced
• 1/2 cup feta cheese
• 1/2 cup kalamata olives, halved
• 3 cups spinach

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss to coat evenly with the Tzatziki Dressing! Makes 2 servings.

This salad is such a great addition to dinner, especially with the days getting warmer! The last thing that I want to do when I get home is eat some large, heavy meal and with all the fresh ingredients, this salad is the exact opposite!
