Healthy Salad - Zorra the Great Greek Salad


Mediterranean fare gets a lot of praise for good reason: It's loaded with heart-healthy fats and fiber-rich vegetables. But the marinated meats and big chunks of feta cheese in Greek salads can sabotage an otherwise healthy diet. This mix doesn't overdo it on the olive oil, and the bed of hummus packs a big protein punch.
  • 2 ounces baby arugula 2 ounces romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 2 ounces English cucumber, diced
  • 2 ounces kalamata olives, pitted
  • ounce red onion, julienned 5 baby tomatoes, halved
  • teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
  • ounce baked pita chips
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ounces fresh hummus
Combine all ingredients, toss with lemon juice and olive oil, and sen/e immediately on a bed of hummus.
