Clean Eating Vegan Greek Salad…made with clean ingredients, is ready in about 5 minutes and it’s vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo-friendly and contains no refined sugar.
This Clean Eating Vegan Greek Salad is a quick and simple salad for an individual serving, but you can easily double or triple the recipe if you need more.
It’s made with fresh ingredients, many you may already have on hand.
I received a generous supply of beautiful organic cherry tomatoes in my recent Farmbox Direct delivery (they deliver organic fruits and veggies straight to your door) and instead of eating them plain, like I normally do, I decided to make a salad with them.
And although traditional Greek Salad recipes call for feta cheese, you won’t miss it in this recipe with the tangy olives and balsamic vinegar dressing.
This is a quick and healthy salad made with whole food ingredients and is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and paleo-friendly.
