This salad is perfect for entertaining, no matter how big the crowd or how many dietary restrictions you need to worry about. There’s something for everyone, and they get to compose their own perfect salad, whether they like their greens crunchy or tender, their peppers raw or pickled, or their salads veggie-dense or protein packed.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Arrange the must-have greens, vegetables and feta and any optional add-ons in colorful stripes across large oval or rectangular platters or in mounds on large round platters.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and oregano, if using.
Serve with lemons, olive oil and vinegar so everyone can dress their own salad as they see fit.
Not so allergy friendly
While the salad really looks beautiful, you state that it is perfect regardless of how many dietary restrictions you need to worry about.. Well that is true if the restrictions are about personal preference.. However if the restrictions are due to allergies the fact that all the foods are on the same plate can render this salad not for everyone. I would suggest having each different food served in its own bowl or plate so that you can safely choose only what you can safely eat. It may be a little more time consuming but at least all the guests would be accommodated…
Great suggestions for those who have people with food allergies in their circles. Thanks.
