Chopped Greek Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette

This Chopped Greek Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette definitely meets my salad expectations.

This gorgeous, fresh salad is filled with so many lovely and bright flavors that play deliciously together. It looks and tastes like one giant vegetable garden in a bowl.

I realize I’ve been tardy here for a while. But it’s for good reason. Of course, that reason is really a multitude of reasons. First there is the work I create for my clients, family time, getting over what seemed like the longest cold ever and of course a little winter wandering in the snow filled cascades. Because what is winter without a little wandering? And, it’s how I recharge my creative well.

I have to tell you that I may not be quite as diligent in posting recipes here as I once was. I’m starting a project that will take most of the year to complete. I can’t say too much about it except that it’s a book. Yes, a real, live book! It won’t be published until next year but I’ll certainly write more details here as time goes by. So check back often or subscribe to the blog to receive the most up to date posts.

I do post on Instagram and Facebook more often. It seems to be a little easier to give you an update via those outlets than it does here. But I’ll still be here when I can, posting new recipes from time to time. And stories about the book project!

Until then, I’d like to leave you with a recipe for one of my many favorite salads, a classic Chopped Greek Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette and another winter shot of the Oregon coast.

Delicious Wishes and Loads of Love,
