Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Skinny Chopped Greek Salad
Skinny Chopped Greek Salad. Chickpeas, cucumber, grape tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives and feta cheese tossed in a simple lemon olive oil dressing.
The recipe called for some chopped romaine but I intentionally left it out, so I could store this easy, healthy chopped Greek salad in the fridge for a couple of days without it getting soggy.
WW Friendly Chopped Greek Salad
Skinny on Chopped Greek Salad
If you're a Greek salad fan like me, this is a fun twist that holds up for a couple of days in the fridge, making it a great choice to pack for work.
I eat at home most days and love having something quick and easy ready and waiting. This salad definitely does the trick.
The chickpeas with their protein and fiber make it a little more filling too.

I thought this salad was delicious as written, but feel free to experiment and adjust it to suit your tastes. The great thing about salads is that they hardly need a recipe at all. If you wanted to jazz it up a bit, a little oregano, chopped fresh dill, or mint would be nice.
