Farm-to-Table: A Simple & Delicious Mediterranean Inspired Salad to Try this Summer

When it’s too hot outside to cook, being next to a warm stove in 90º+ weather may be the last thing you want to do. Why not make a cool, fresh salad instead?

This month, we paired up with our partners Top Box Foods Louisiana to make a summer salad using ingredients from their vegetable box (plus a few store-bought items).

Here’s what we used to make it:

From Top Box Foods

Romaine lettuce

Bell peppers

Onions

Tomato (also available from Baton Roots)

Cucumber (also available from Baton Roots)

From Trader Joes

Balsamic vinaigrette

Feta cheese

Mixed greens

Olives

How to make the salad

1. Wash all of the vegetables

2. Chop romaine lettuce and blend into mixed greens

3. Toss all greens lightly in olive oil, salt, and pepper

4. Dice onions and peppers and sliced cucumbers and tomatoes

5. Start dressing the salad with all of the ingredients

6. Top with olives, feta cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette, then voila!
