A Mediterranean classic, the Greek salad delights in all forms. Typically made with kalamata or black olives, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and salty feta cheese topped with a zesty oil-based vinaigrette, it’s the go-to side dish for shawarma, kebabs, and other regional delicacies. Top it with grilled chicken or salmon and it can double as a main dish.

In this amped-up version, we swap the standard romaine lettuce base out for a tastier, more filling layer of gluten-free orzo pasta (we used a cassava-based orzo). Cucumbers provide crunch, while the earthy flavor of chickpeas contrasts with the bright, herbaceous notes of our Greek Vinaigrette & Marinade. Tangy with a hint of sweetness, this delightful Keto Certified dressing is made with purposeful ingredients like organic red wine vinegar and avocado oil. Whip up a big batch of this Lemon Orzo Salad for your next picnic, pack it as a side in your kid’s lunch, or dish it up for dinner alongside grilled chicken kabobs.
