Mediterranean Salad

Gluten Free Vinegar Free Mediterranean Salad

This Mediterranean Salad is a take on fattoush salad, which usually has fried pita chips on top but here I skipped them in order to make this salad wheat free. I also did not use any vinegar in the dressing.

Did you know?

The word salad comes from the ancient word "sel" for salt. It then evolved to "salata", meaning a salted herb, because raw veggetables were seasoned with oil, vinegar, and lots of salt.

There are different types of salads served at different points during a meal:


  • Appetizer salads light, smaller-portion salads served as the first course of the meal.
  • Side salads to accompany the main course.
  • Main course salads usually contain meat, fish, eggs, legumes, or cheese.
  • Dessert salads sweet versions containing fruit, gelatin, sweeteners or whipped cream.

  • 30 mins
  • Serves 6
