Salad Days of Summer

Sometimes I just crave a really fresh salad in the summer. Tonight I made a Greek Chopped Salad. I started with cucumber and cherry tomatoes that were salted and left to drain for a while in a colander. I then made the dressing by combining olive oil, red wine vinegar, and garlic. I tossed the drained cucumbers and tomatoes in the dressing along with chickpeas, olives, parsley and shallots and let sit for 5 minutes. Finally, I tossed in some chopped romaine and feta cheese. A wonderful, healthy salad for dinner.
