Mediterranean Salad with a Creamy Garlic Dressing

This salad is topped with Mediterranean toppings like Kalamata olives, capers, and cucumbers. The creamy garlic dressing is full of flavor and something you are going to want to have on hand at all times. This salad is also topped with feta cheese, just omit that if you are on a round of Whole30 or don’t do well with dairy. You can also add your favorite protein, grilled chicken or shrimp would be a great addition.
