The Story Behind the Recipe

Have you seen mosaic salads? They’re so pretty! So far I’ve seen melon mosaic salad (or “Tetris salad”) like this, this and this, and that presentation is just *chefskiss* perfect. Love.

I knew I wanted to bring that mosaic concept to a different type of salad. I originally wanted to do something that was fall-inspired, like apple, pear, and cheddar (and that’s still swirling in my brain), but when I was eating a Greek salad at a restaurant recently, it all clicked for me. The ingredients in horiatiki-style Greek salad would be PERFECT arranged mosaic-style!

So I got to work, settling pretty quickly on cherry tomatoes nestled into squares secured by feta, cucumber, and green bell pepper squares.

Then I scattered on some Kalamata olives, red onions, fresh herbs, and a simple oregano olive oil dressing. Gah, love at first sight (and then more love at first bite!)

Why You’ll Love Greek Mosaic Salad

• Crowd-pleaser: There’s no way this mosaic Greek salad won’t impress!
• Unique spin on a classic horiatiki-style Greek salad: Horiatiki Greek Salad is made simply with veggies and a straightforward dressing; no lettuce involved. It’s the perfect style of salad for the mosaic treatment!
• Surprisingly easy: This Greek salad isn’t just easy to put together, it’s really not fussy. No need to be precious about it and get the squares exact; it’s going to look amazing no matter what!

Greek Mosaic Salad Recipe Ingredients

• Red onion – You won’t need much onion; just enough to thinly slice and arrange over the top. I like to soak the onion in ice water to help mellow it out.
• Cucumber – I use one large English cucumber for this mosaic Greek salad. You can use different types of cucumber if you prefer, just make sure it’s large enough to cut into cubes.
• Green bell pepper – One large one with flat, even sides if you can find it.
• Feta cheese – You’ll want a block of solid feta. Blot it with a paper towel to help sop up some of the moisture.
• Cherry tomatoes – Try to find some cherry tomatoes that are smaller in size, or you can cut them in half.
• Kalamata olives – Just a few, halved and scattered across the top.
• Dressing – Just olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, and kosher salt.
• Fresh oregano and/or or mint leaves – Arrange on top to make it extra pretty.
• Bonus: I don’t have these in pics or ingredients but a few capers scattered along the top will never hurt!

Tips for Success

• Cut everything into roughly the same size cubes. I go for about 3/4-inch.
• To prep ahead, cut up your feta and veggies then store them separately in an airtight container in the fridge (bell pepper and onion can flavor the other ingredients if stored together). Assemble right before serving.

I hope you love this fun spin on Greek salad! It’s one of my favorite recipes I’ve created lately. I’ve always loved a horiatiki Greek salad, and I think the mosaic presentation brings it to the next level!

Ingredients

• 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced soaked in ice water for 15 minutes
• 1 English cucumber
• 1/2 large green bell pepper
• 4 ounces feta cheese in block form; drained
• 1 cup small cherry tomatoes if large, you can cut them in half
• 10-12 kalamata olives halved
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 10-15 fresh oregano or mint leaves optional

Instructions

Soak the onions

• Thinly slice the onion and place it in bowl. Submerge it in ice water. Let it soak for 15 minutes. (This helps mellow out the flavor and makes them nice and crisp.)

Cut the veggies & feta

• Meanwhile, cut the four sides off of the cucumber to square it off, leaving some green peel on the corners for color. Cut into roughly 3/4-inch cubes.
• Cut the sides off of the green pepper, as large as possible. Square the edges then cut each piece into 3/4-inch wide squares.
• Cut the feta into approximately 3/4-inch squares.

Arrange the salad

• On a large rimmed platter, arrange the cucumber, feta, and bell peppers, leaving room for a cherry tomato here and there.
• Plop the cherry tomatoes into the blank spaces.

Top with onion and olives

• Drain the red onion slices and arrange over the top. Scatter the Kalamata olive halves over the top, too.

Add the dressing

• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Drizzle dressing over the top of the salad.

Garnish

• Sprinkle with a pinch of coarse salt. Decorate with fresh oregano or fresh mint if desired.
• To serve, use a flat server or large serving spoon and scoop salad pieces onto a plate or into bowls.

Notes

Serves 4 as a side or 2 as a main dish.

To store leftovers, wrap the platter tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. I’ve also simply moved the ingredients into a storage bowl for easier storing (even if the mosaic presentation is lost!)

This fresh and easy Greek pasta salad brings orzo pasta, veggies, olives, and feta together with a Greek vinaigrette, and it’s absolutely divine. One of my fave pasta salad recipes yet!

I love this fresh and easy pasta salad so much. It’s packed with fresh veggies – crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and crunchy red bell peppers. Fresh mint and parsley add bright flavor. Then there’s the full-of-flavor, Greek-salad inspired vinaigrette with oregano and Dijon mustard.

Oh, and can’t forget the Kalamata olives and salty feta. And tender orzo. Basically this salad is a conglomeration of everything I love. Except the word “conglomeration” is not the tastiest-sounding word, but I’m sure you catch my drift. It’s DELISH.

The Story Behind the Recipe

I’m a huge fan of pasta salad, and especially orzo pasta salad. There’s just something about that rice-sized pasta that works so well in a pasta salad, soaking up the flavors around it, adding amazing texture, yet letting the veggies shine.

In the past, I’ve created an orzo chickpea olive salad, an orzo chickpea cherry tomato salad, and an orzo pasta salad with hazelnuts and cherries.

But I’ve been on a massive Greek salad kick this year, so it was time to combine the classic elements of Greek salad with pasta salad, and here we are: Greek Orzo Pasta Salad.

Why You’ll Love Greek Orzo Salad

Well, for one, this salad tastes amazing! It’s so fresh and lively.

It’s also super meal-prep friendly: It’s one of those refrigerator-friendly salads that you can make ahead of time and enjoy all week long as a side dish or easy lunch salad.

It’s also the perfect potluck or BBQ salad. Be prepared for recipe requests!

Ingredients

• Orzo pasta: You’ll want about half a box, or 8 ounces, of orzo.
• Cherry tomatoes: Grape tomatoes will work, too. Cut them in half, or, if they’re large, go ahead and quarter them.
• English cucumber: I love English cucumbers because you don’t have to peel them and they’re always crisp and full of flavor. If you use a standard cuke, you’ll want to peel it first. Persian cucumbers are great in this, too!
• Red bell pepper: Feel free to substitute orange or yellow if you like. Bonus: An even MORE colorful Greek pasta salad!
• Feta: I love the salty and creamy notes feta adds to the mix. It also doesn’t get more Greek than that!
• Kalamata olives: Grab the already-pitted ones to make it easier on yourself.
• Parsley & mint: Fresh herbs add so much flavor and pretty color.

For the dressing:

• Extra-virgin olive oil
• Red wine vinegar: White wine vinegar or champagne vinegar will also work.
• Dijon mustard: Adds flavor and emulsifies the dressing.
• Garlic: Finely mince it, or use a Microplane zester to get it extra fine.
• Oregano, salt, & pepper

Adaptations/Variations

• Add 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (shown in the ingredients photo but not strictly necessary) for a bonus boost of flavor.
• Swap the orzo for a straight-up Greek pasta salad: You don’t have to use orzo if you can’t find it or don’t want to! Any small or medium pasta shape will do. Small shells or rotini are especially good.
• Vegan option: Omit the feta cheese. This salad is still delicious without it! You might want to add a pinch or two extra of salt, or some extra olives, to compensate for it. 
• Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free orzo pasta. 

How to Make Greek Orzo Pasta Salad

First, you’ll want to cook the orzo so that it has time to cool.

Next, mix together the vinaigrette. I love the shortcut of mixing the vinaigrette right in the bottom of the salad bowl. Less dishes!

Then, add the veggies, feta, olives, and herbs to the bowl along with the cooled orzo.

From there, toss everything together. You’re done!

Tips for Success

• For the flavors to really meld, place your Greek orzo pasta salad in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
• You can make this salad up to 4 days ahead of time. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge and give it a quick stir to freshen it up before serving. I might sprinkle a few extra fresh herbs on top right before serving too, just to make it look extra pretty.

Ingredients

For the salad:

• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

• Cook the orzo pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and let cool. If you're in a hurry, you can rinse it with cold water to cool it, but I prefer not to rinse if it I can avoid it.

• Add the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, feta, olives, parsley, and mint to the bowl.
• Add the cooled orzo to the bowl.

Omit the feta cheese. This salad is still delicious without it! You might want to add a pinch or two extra of salt, or some extra olives, to compensate for it. 

Gluten-free option:

Use gluten-free orzo pasta.

When it comes to creating and sharing recipes, fall is my happy place. Maybe it’s the pumpkin; perhaps it’s my nesting instinct kicking in hardcore. Whatever it is, I am always inspired this time of year.

All this to introduce a recipe that is actually not autumn-ish at all. In fact, I created it over the summer. But I also think it’s perfect for this busy time of year. You’ve got grains (orzo), protein (chickpeas), and deliciousness (capers and olives). Deliciousness is important, am I right?

By the way, did you know naming recipes can be really, really hard? I mean, first, ideally you actually want to, you know, describe the dish. But sometimes a bunch of the ingredients deserve equal billing. And suddenly you have, like, four of the ingredients in the name of the recipe. Like with this chickpea orzo salad. Oh hey! Maybe I should have just called it “chickpea orzo salad.” … but I’ve already created one orzo salad with chickpeas already and, considering how much I like the combo, it’s probably going to keep happening. So here we have a chickpea orzo salad with a bit of a Greek side – black olives, capers, oregano. Hence “Greek-ish Orzo Salad.”

Gosh, that was uninteresting.

But I promise, this salad is not! It is the opposite! It is interesting!

It’s really full of flavor – hearty with bits of salty, tangy from the dressing but with the perfect balance of salt/sweet. I adore the kalamata olives and capers. My thought was that so many orzo salads call for feta. And feta is glorious and all but it’s often made with cow’s milk. No bueno for me. And besides, there are other ways to get that salty/tangy thing and keep the salad plant-based. (Oh hi, olives and capers!)

This is a perfect potluck salad, by the way. It’s hearty enough to stand in as a main dish for the vegans, but great for a side as well. I also love throwing it in a mason jar along with some greens like baby arugula or spinach for an easy, portable, satisfying lunch.

Note I don’t I actually throw it. That’d be messy.

I think my word for 2017 is going to be “flourish.” It’s a bit of a lofty word, and maybe it’s silly but that makes me a little nervous. But I think that only good things can come of striving toward flourishing more in life – be it my own personal health, our family, friendships, and work.

I suppose I can tie the word “flourish” into hummus because hello, hummus is a totally delicious superfood and having it around always helps me eat healthier. And flourish. Clunky segue. Sorry.

This Loaded Roasted Red Pepper Hummus just about the most irresistible hummus I’ve ever made.

I was inspired by this loaded hummus recipes, and wanted to pile one high with kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, and more. Ultimately, I decided that the roasted red peppers needed to go in the hummus, too. I love the smoky addition and the gorgeous orange hue it gives the whole shebang.

And then we pile it on. Toasted pine nuts, fresh basil, red onions, chickpeas, olive oil … good gracious, once you get started loading up your hummus, it’s kind of hard to stop.

Wait. Would it be weird if I change my 2017 word to “hummus?”

Another thing I’m not sure about? How to pronounce “Niçoise.” For me, it’s one of those words that I read occasionally but have never, to my recollection, actually heard out loud. That “ç” must make it sound really fancy, but yeah. No clue. I need Eminem to use it in a hit song so that I can finally learn how to correctly pronounce the word. Not that that’s, um, ever happened before.

So, this salad! Classic salad Niçoise generally boasts tuna, hard-boiled eggs, Niçoise olives (a small, bold black olive), tomatoes, baby potatoes, and green beans or, if you’re fancy, “haricots verts” (yeah, I’m not sure how to pronounce that one, either). It’s all piled atop a bed of crisp lettuce. A drizzle of Dijon-spiked vinaigrette brings the whole thing together.

But, as I mentioned before, no tuna in this vegetarian salad Niçoise recipe – instead, we’ve got chickpeas! Chickpeas are, incidentally, my favorite sub for tuna – they’ve got protein, they’re healthy, and they’re delicious on their own but also transform into all kinds of various forms of otherworldly goodness.

Once I got the tuna substitution issue out of the way, another pesky problem popped up. I couldn’t find Niçoise olives anywhere! Even at high-end grocery stores with olive bars. No bueno. So I subbed in kalamata olives instead. Is it blasphemy? I’m not sure. But I am sure that it’s very, very delicious.

Olive this Chickpea Salad Niçoise.

You know I had to.

The Story Behind the Recipe

This recipe started out as the slightly more exciting “Three Olive Hummus,” but when I realized I was out of plain black olives, I went with two olives instead. And it was just as tasty, so I went with it. Changing the “three” to a “two” doesn’t sound nearly exciting, so simple, plain “olive hummus” it is!

Except this green olive and kalamata olive hummus doesn’t taste plain at all. It’s … sort of like hummus amped up with tapenade. Except simpler. And a little more interesting and colorful than your standard hummus.

And it is, quite frankly, an olive lover’s dream.

Olive Hummus Ingredients

• Chickpeas, tahini, lemon, and garlic – standard hummus fare
• Plus! Some pitted kalamata olives AND green olives with pimento. Yum!
• Oh, and don’t forget the salt along with the olive oil and smoked paprika garnish.

Served with multigrain chips, homemade everything crackers (yesssss), red bell pepper slices, or carrot sticks, this hummus makes a great game-day appetizer or any-day snack for anyone. Except for my guy, who hates olives. And my toddler, who won’t touch hummus these days.

Ah well. More for me!

I have a dream. And that dream is, someday, to go to Greece. I picture crisp white stucco buildings packed tightly along hills, cobalt seas lapping below, sun shining, and me, in a long, gauzy, white dress with strappy sandals, strolling the cobblestone streets that weave their way between tucked-away cafes and incredible vistas. And I totally wouldn’t have blisters from the sandals and all that walking, because dreams don’t include blisters.

It’ll be awhile until we can get there, so for now, we have Creamy Greek Potato Salad. Which … is not even close to the same thing. But it is delicious! So there is that.

This salad brings together tender red potatoes, sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and kalamata olives, tossed in a creamy and garlicky tzatziki sauce. I love that Greek yogurt forms the base instead of the traditional mayo – you still get the creaminess of typical potato salad, but it’s a much healthier option. Healthier is good!

This is a light, bright potato salad bursting with Greek-inspired flavors. I think it’s the perfect salad to bring to Fourth of July picnics, summer potlucks, and barbecues. Just like I would be the perfect person to bring to, say, Santorini!

Someday. But for now, there’s salad!
