You may be craving a Cretan Salad without even knowing it! It’s a lovely and lively cross between a vegetarian Salade Nicoise and a Greek Salad. Chock full of delicious Mediterranean superfoods, this salad is great in any season and makes for a balanced meal. Served with a side of crusty sourdough bread, it is a great option for lunch, and won’t weigh you down. Or, you can serve it as a side with a hearty soup for dinner.
Enjoy!
