Recipe: Layered salad delights with Greek yoghurt twist
Salads are a large part of many people's diets and are often served on tables during birthdays or holidays. If you want to surprise your family with something new, skip the gyros or vegetable salads and try a layered salad.
We love salads—especially those that contain vegetables and meat as well as mayonnaise- or Greek yogurt-based sauces. How about surprising your family with something different than usual? The layered salad is so delicious that it will quickly win everyone's hearts.
Recipe for layered salad
The layered salad is similar to the gyros salad but much better. Its secret ingredient is a sauce made from Greek yoghurt, cucumber, garlic, and dill. It's a great idea as an addition to spring and summer dishes.
Ingredients for the salad:
- 2 chicken fillets,
- 2 romaine lettuces,
- the white part of a leek,
- tin of corn,
- red bell pepper,
- gyros seasoning.
Ingredients for the sauce:
- 350 ml of Greek yogurt,
- greenhouse cucumber,
- bunch of dill,
- 2 cloves of garlic,
- tablespoon of olive oil,
- tablespoon of lemon juice,
- pinch of salt and pepper.
Preparation of the layered salad
Start preparing the salad with the sauce. Wash the greenhouse cucumber and grate it with the skin on. Salt it and set it aside, then squeeze out the excess water. Transfer the cucumber to a bowl, and add the Greek yoghurt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Chop the dill and press the garlic through a garlic press. Add them to the mixture. Sprinkle with pepper and mix.
Next, prepare the vegetables and meat for the salad. Tear the romaine lettuce and place it at the bottom of a bowl. Cut the chicken into pieces and fry it in gyros seasoning in a pan. Place it on top of the lettuce. Add a layer of sauce, corn, and diced red bell pepper.
The penultimate layer of the salad is the chopped white leek. The final layer is the second layer of sauce, lightly sprinkled with dill. The layered salad can be served immediately. Enjoy!
