This easy Greek salad was inspired by the Med Salad over at Noodles and Company. The dressing comes together quickly and is made with Greek yogurt, lemon, garlic, olive oil and a “secret” ingredient: Sriracha hot sauce. For a more authentic Greek salad, take a look at Our Favorite Greek Salad recipe. To make the salad more filling, we add a little cooked pasta, but you could also add baked lemon garlic chicken breast or simply roasted shrimp. Recipe updated, originally posted October 2009.
