Crowd-Pleasing Mediterranean Salad | mygutfeeling.eu
Got a crowd coming over for Christmas or New Year’s Eve? This big-batch salad makes a great starter or side to any main dish you prepare.

An all-star, easy-to-follow Mediterranean Salad recipe that is also healthy!

Crowd-Pleasing Mediterranean Salad Recipe

After the Xmas season feast, nothing better than a fresh, detox and healthy salad to put our bodies back on track. Even with food restrictions, and like many of you, I ate too much! What our bodies need now is a bit of a pause from all the traditional food we shared with family and friends. And because this is a festive season, I’ve invited my dear friends São and Pedro, to join me in this creation and taste the final result. I thank them for their patience, tips, kitchen and beautiful Bordalo Pinheiro Portuguese design dish. Thanx, guys 🙂

The result of our inspired cooking was this mediterranean salad loaded with fresh vibrant flavors of sun-dried tomatoes, bell peppers, chickpeas, feta cheese and tangerine. All this on a bed of salad greens and drizzled with a tangy olive tapenade (a popular french dip with olives and capers > to know more, read this post) and citrus dressing.

I wish you a happy and inspiring New Year! My gut feeling tells me it’s going to be awesome! 🙂
