People often think of salad as the back-up singer to the main event.  But in Mediterranean cooking, the lines are easily blurred. Sure, we love our baked fish, grilled souvlaki, and beef kabobs, but the party is not complete without some stand-out salads.

Particularly on warm days, when I’d rather be basking in the sun than slaving in the kitchen, it’s salad for dinner…and no one really cares, y’all!

We’re not talking your average salad fluffed up with wilted lettuce. Nope. Think mouthwatering, loaded salads. Chickpea salad with a side of eggplant; or a platter of tuna salad with all sorts of crunchy veggies, tossed in a zesty Dijon vinaigrette and accompanied by warm pita pockets (now that’s my kinda of lazy-night dinner!)

Without further chatter, here is my current list of favorite Mediterranean salad recipes (click on linked salad name in red to see the full recipe).

  6. I love Tabouli Salad. I just made it yesterday! It is so hard to find a good Mediterranean restaurant on the east side of the State of Michigan especially in Battle Creek. So I’m trying my hand at cooking it! I started out with my favourite salad.

  13. Fattoush Salad is my favorite. I could live on Fattoush. I’m out of Sumac. Most spices I have to order on line. If you find a wonderful Middle Eastern store in ATL, let me know. A place that makes or has fresh pita. In the winter, I order pita from Birmingham. The store serves most of ATL.

  14. You are in Atlanta? I live over the GA stateline — Visit Cherokee County, North Carolina – Murphy, Andrews, Brasstown come up and visit, you’ll love the area north of Blue Ridge, GA, and beyond. It is sticky hot here, too.
