Ingredients

For the Dressing:

  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 Heaping Tablespoon Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Teaspoon Whole Grain Dijon Mustard
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Pinch of Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

For the Salad:

  • 2 Heads of Romaine Lettuce thinly sliced
  • 1 Large Tomato seeded and diced
  • 1/4 Cup Diced Red Onion
  • 1/2 Cup Pitted Kalamata Olives
  • 1/3 Cup Thinly Sliced Pepperoncicni Peppers
  • 1/2 English Cucumber grated
  • 1/4 Cup Feta Cheese Crumbles

For the Bread:

  • 1 Loaf Ciabatta halved length-wise
  • 1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Dried Oregano

Instructions

  1. Add all the salad dressing ingredients to a jar with a lid. Firmly seal the lid. Shake the jar to combine the dressing. Place into the fridge until ready to use.
  2. Preheat the broiler to high. Drizzle each half of the ciabatta with equal parts of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cover each half of bread with equal amounts of both cheeses. Sprinkle the top with a bit of dried oregano. Place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until golden brown on the edges.
  3. While the bread cooks, combine all the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Or you can build the salad directly on to the bread if you are making this for a crowd and want to impress. If that's the case, layer the lettuce, onion, peppers, cucumbers, olives, then tomatoes on top of the bread. Finish the salad off with feta and a generous drizzle of the salad dressing.
  4. Top off with a drizzle of olive oil and some freshly cracked black pepper too! Slice the bread and then serve with a napkin and a fork to pick up the toppings that fall off the bread.
