Big Fat Greek Salad with Souvlaki-ish Chicken

Credits to Wishbone Kitchen

Wishbone Kitchen credits maroulosalata, or Greek “lettuce salad”, as this dish’s inspiration. It features all things green – romaine, scallions, bell peppers, pepperoncini, capers, dill – and she gives it the micro-chop treatment so every bite is packed with crunch and flavor.

Fall calls for a warm, baked salad. The spicy, smoky, sweet squash is delicious, and then add in candied bacon for a final touch.

No tofu press needed – by squeezing the moisture out with your hands and cooking over super high heat, it turns out so crispy. Stir in a simple pantry sauce to create a delicious lunch or dinner party dish for vegetarians.

The definition of a simple recipe: so simple, I thought I had missed a step or two when I first made it. There’s no stirring, sautéing, trimming, or browning necessary. Follow Caro’s swaps to add more veggies like diced zucchini, broccoli, or bell pepper.
