Mediterranean Chop Salad
This is one of my favorite salads from True Food Kitchen. I love to eat vegetarian, but my body does not always do well without some animal protein. However this vegetarian salad is very filling and can sustain me for many hours. It can also be vegan by leaving off the feta. Aaaand it’s dEEElicious.
