If you love Panera’s Greek salad, then you’re going to love this copycat version. So delicious, and so easy to make at home!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love so many of the salads at Panera Bread, but their Greek salad is probably my favorite. And with this easy recipe, you can whip up a Copycat Panera Greek Salad at home!
With crispy Romaine, and plenty of tomatoes, olives, red onion and feta cheese, this is my idea of the perfect salad. The tangy vinegar and oil dressing is the perfect accompaniment to all of the delicious veggies.
And of course, it wouldn’t be a Panera Greek salad without some crunchy pepperoncini peppers for garnish.
If you’ve never had a Panera Greek salad, it’s pretty similar to the Olive Garden salad. So if you love that one, you’re going to love this one!
If you haven’t had either salad, what are you waiting for? This really is one of my favorite salads. It’s a must try!
I love to have a big bowl of this salad for lunch, but it’s also the perfect side for almost any meal. So don’t just serve it with Greek food, because it pairs well with pretty much everything.
If you’re not a fan of kalamata olives, you can definitely substitute regular black olives. And cherry tomatoes are fine in place of grape tomatoes.
I like to mix up extra dressing and keep it in the refrigerator so I can toss this salad together at a moment’s notice. And if you want to turn this into a more complete meal, feel free to add grilled chicken, or even sliced pepperoni.
If you’ve made New Year’s resolutions to eat more veggies, this salad is a great place to start. It doesn’t require tons of chopping (my least favorite thing about making salads) but it’s still loaded with tons of tasty ingredients.
This Copycat Panera Greek Salad is one you’ll be making again and again. You’ll definitely want to add this one to your recipe collection.
Be sure to save this recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.
