Easy Mediterranean Green Salad

This Easy Mediterranean Green Salad is a simple, no-fuss recipe made with crisp greens, tender vegetables, and a light olive oil dressing enhanced by the brine from marinated artichokes. The addition of green peas adds a boost of fiber, helping this simple salad feel more filling without weighing it down. It pairs well with grilled chicken, salmon, steak, or alongside a warm bowl of soup, making it an easy go-to for both quick meals and everyday dinners, and below I’m sharing exactly what I used to make it.
