Revisiting some delicious Greek inspired recipes that I have done in the past because they fit so well with what we are currently focusing on now. These recipes go right along with the delicius Mediterranean ideas we have been sharing on our channel recently. These three ideas are simple and accessible and super summery! Greek inspired cobb salad with a Greek marinated grilled chicken and a cool and creamy cucumber salad dressing. All these recipes come together to make a delicious, cool and refreshing meal for family or for sharing! I know that you will love having these in your recipe box!

Creamy cucumber dressing is super easy to make using plain yogurt, buttermilk, cucumbers, chives, onions, garlic and a variety of simple shelf ingredients to make a creamy and delicious dressing for salad any day of the week. I love making dressings at home and this one is a real winner. The addition of the cucumber makes this very refreshing and flavorful. I like to use Persian style or "mini" cucumbers because they are small, dense and have very few if any seeds at all. This dressing will keep in your fridge for up to a week but I promise you will want to put this on everything from your salad to grilled salmon to using it as a dip for a cool, refreshing veggie platter!

Next up is a Greek or Mediterranean style marinade for chicken, pork or fish. This also has cucumber along with dill, chives, onions, and a bunch of great spices. I marinated an entire family size tray of chicken breast using this marinade, but you could marinate anything you like. Chicken thighs would be delicious and a great start to a homemade style gyro or souvlaki. You could also use this as a freezer marinade and keep this frozen until ready to use for your menu plan.

The final culmination here is the Greek inspired Cobb salad. A riff on a traditional Cobb made famous by the Brown Derby restaurant that used to be in Hollywood, California. We are taking that traditional idea of poached chicken bacon, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, blue cheese and lettuce and turning this into a Mediterranean feast for both the eyes and the appetite! Using our marinated grilled chicken along with some chopped romaine lettuce, red onion, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, marinated Greek olives, pepperoncini, mushrooms and artichoke hearts sprinkled all over with delicious Feta cheese and drizzled with our creamy cucumber dressing this is a meal fit for a king! Serve this with warm pita bread and make everyone at your table happy!

I hope you give some of these ideas a try in your weekly meal plan and I hope you love them!
