As simple as it is, Greek chop salad delivers in a way that only a handful of olives and feta can. Fresh, summertime vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes keep this salad light while a sprinkling of hearty chickpeas make it substantial enough for lunch.
Also: anything that improves as it sits in our fridge – like a saucy salad – is worth paying attention to. You may want to double this recipe and stow some away for later.
Turn Greek chop salad into a full meal and serve alongside Lemon Herb Millet Salad with Greek Chicken Burgers (AIP diet friendly!) .

Delicious. I really enjoyed this salad. Will make again. Not a huge fan of raw onion but it wasn’t too overwhelming imo.

Fresh and delicious. So good! It’s worth all of the chopping.

Healthy and fresh! My kids love it and it makes great leftover salad the next day. I served it with chicken breast.

Kid Approved! Loved this. My 9, 7 and 4 year old loved it too. Added walnuts instead of chickpeas but otherwise left it as is and was excellent!
