Two words. Salad Weather.

It’s on and I’m not mad about it. While we do eat salad year-round, the truth is that when we eat hot dinners, the side salad is usually nothing more than a couple of handfuls of mixed baby greens and a simple dressing.

But, when the weather starts to get warm, I start thinking about salads as a meal and that means getting creative.

Last week I shared my Turmeric Tahini Dressing. It takes all of about 3 minutes to make it. There is no chopping, dicing or slicing. You just put a handful of simple ingredients into a mason jar and shake.

This Mediterranean Chicken Bowl is the best friend of that dressing. You can have this flavor-packed meal on the dinner table – dressing making included – in under 20 minutes.

Plus, if you hit up a good olive bar at your grocery store, this salad is actually very inexpensive. Don’t buy full-size jars of olives, peppers and artichoke hearts. Save (a lot!) of money by just picking up what you need.

TIP: For Whole30 and Gluten Free – make sure to read those labels at the olive bar. If you can’t get ingredient info – you may want to purchase full-size jars of the items to be sure of the ingredients.

    It was great timing to receive this recipe today as I was wondering what to have for dinner. We had all the ingredients including a pound canister of za’atar that I had purchased to have a tablespoon for another recipe. This was really delicious, even though I forgot to put the red onion on the salad, next time it will be complete. Thanks!

    What can I use in place of Za’atar? This isn’t an ingredient I use.

      Hi Cathy,
      I would do a little lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika and garlic powder along with the olive oil, salt and pepper!
