Greek Salad

2. Flatbread Salad including Chickpeas,
Mint, Feta, and Tomato
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Bake the lavash on the
oven rack until lightly browned, 4 to 7 minutes; let cool (it will crisp as it cools).
Meanwhile, whisk the lemon juice, shallot, sugar, a large pinch of salt, and a couple of
grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes, then whisk in the olive oil and mint.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Combine the chickpeas, tomatoes, and snap peas in a large bowl. Toss with the vinaigrette.
Coarsely crumble the lavash over the top. Add the feta, arugula, and peppers, if using, and
gently toss to combine. Serve immediately.
1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
7 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup packed, finely chopped fresh mint
1 15-oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
8 oz. cherry tomatoes, halved (about 1-1/2 cups)
6 oz. sugar snap peas, trimmed and quartered on a
diagonal (about 1-3/4 cups)
6 oz. feta, crumbled (about 1 heaping cup)
3 oz. baby arugula (3 packed cups)
2 Tbs. minced Peppadew peppers (optional)

3. Warm Shrimp Salad including Feta and
Honeydew
Season the shrimp lightly with salt and cayenne.
In a 12-inch skillet, heat 2 Tbs. of the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Add the shrimp
and cook on one side until pink, about 1 minute. Flip and add the shallots, lime zest, and 1 tsp. of the
lime juice. Turn the heat to medium and cook until just opaque throughout, about 1 minute more.
In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 2 Tbs. oil and 1 Tbs. lime juice. Season to taste with salt and
pepper. Toss the frisée and the melon in the vinaigrette. Divide equally among 4 dinner plates, top
with the shrimp, feta, mint, and coriander and serve.
1-1/2 lb. extra-jumbo (16 to 20 per lb.) shrimp, peeled (tails left on, if you like)
and deveined
Kosher salt
Pinch cayenne
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbs. finely chopped shallots
1 medium lime, finely grated to yield 1 tsp. zest, squeezed to yield 4 tsp. juice
Freshly ground black pepper
2 heads frisée (about 1/2 lb.), torn into bite-size pieces
1 medium (3 to 4 lb.) honeydew melon, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch
dice (about 4 cups)
8 oz. feta, crumbled (about 1-1/2 cups)
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh mint
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. cracked coriander seeds

4. Shaved Fennel Salad including Lemon,
Mint, and Toasted Almonds
Trim the stalks from the fennel bulbs and remove the tough outer layer. Cut the bulbs in half
lengthwise and core. Using a mandoline, shave the fennel crosswise; you’ll have about 6 cups. (If you
don’t have a mandoline, quarter each bulb and use a vegetable peeler to shave them lengthwise.)
In a medium bowl, toss the fennel with the lemon juice and 1/2 tsp. salt and let sit for 10 minutes.
Add half of the almonds and mint and all of the olive oil and toss to combine. Transfer the salad to a
platter or divide it among serving plates. Scatter the remaining almonds and mint over the top, finish
with a few grinds of pepper, and serve.
2 large fennel bulbs (about 4 lb. total)
3 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarsely ground black pepper

5. Bread Salad Including Summer Beans
and Feta
Slice the bread into 1-inch slices. Sprinkle with 1⁄2 cup water and let sit for 2 minutes. Carefully squeeze
the bread until dry. Tear it into 1-inch pieces and let rest on paper towels for 20 minutes.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green and yellow beans and simmer until tender
but still crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and cool.
Place the tomatoes, onions, bread, and cooled green and yellow beans in a large serving bowl. Tear the
basil into 1⁄2-inch pieces and toss carefully into the bowl along with the oregano.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully toss the
salad with the vinaigrette and let rest for 20 minutes. Serve with the crumbled feta on top.

6. Mixed Green Salad including Olives,
Serrano Ham, and Sherry Vinaigrette
Heat the oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl combine 6 Tbs. of the oil, the manchego, and paprika. Toss the bread cubes
with the flavored oil. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the center of the oven until crisp and golden-
brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool completely.
In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, mustard, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Gradually whisk in the remaining
3 Tbs. of oil.
In a large bowl, toss the greens with enough vinaigrette to lightly coat. Add the olives and croutons and toss. Divide the
