Here are a few things you may not know about me:

MY LATEST VIDEOS

First, I love greek salad, but I dislike olives. Like a lot. It’s seriously a problem because I feel like I should love them. Maybe I’ll try them again, any favorite recipes for me to try them in? But my hate of olives usually ruins eating a greek salad out at a restaurant. I always forget they are included until it’s too late! So making my chopped greek salad at home = no olives!

Second, I used to take my lunch with me EVERYDAY to work back in my corporate days, and it was almost always a salad or leftovers over a salad. This girl LOVES salad! But since I started working for myself, I don’t eat as much salad. But I seriously miss having my salad lunches, so they are coming back in the new year!

Third, I was a vegetarian for over 10 years (all of my teens), but only started eating vegetables in my 20’s. Before that the closest thing I would eat to a vegetable was spaghetti sauce or the veggies on my pizza. That counts right? During my 20’s I started cooking for myself and realized that I was missing out on a huge part of the grocery store by not eating vegetables. Oh and these veggies were actually pretty delicious! I didn’t discover artichokes or hearts of palm until my late 20’s and now I look for ways to incorporate them in my life more often. This easy paleo artichoke hummus or this greek zoodle bowl are some of my favorite ways!

I told you all of that to encourage you to be open to try new things, eat more salad because it’s so good for you and motivate you to eat more veggies, it’s never too late to start! Oh and salads like this are perfect for making the night before, dressing and all, and not having to worry about them the next morning! I will mention that cucumbers tend to get a little weird after being chopped for a day or two, so if you are going to make this salad for the entire week, you may want to omit the cucumbers.

This video will show you how easy it is to put together this amazing chopped greek salad!
