Directions

1. First, chop your lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, bell pepper, green onion, and sliced olives.

2. Put the dressing ingredients in a bowl and mix. This is the best way to achieve a smooth and creamy texture for your dressing. Make sure not to put on too much dressing, or it will be too soggy. Also, ensure the ingredients are mixed well, which will make for a better flavor. You can add more sugar or salt if needed. Once finished, mix your salad ingredients into the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently until evenly coated in dressing.

3. At this point, you can add more seasoning or sugar if you need to. However, this is a very soggy salad, so the dressing makes up for it. This salad is perfect for making in the oven because it will be extra crispy and delicious. You have to prepare the ingredients first, though.

4. Mix all ingredients to prepare the salad, but do not forget your dressing! The next step is to bake the salad in a pan or on a sheet of tin foil. Putting it in an oven allows all the ingredients to cook evenly, making for an even more delicious meal.

5. Put your salad in the oven, and bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. After that, please turn off the oven but leave it for another 5 minutes to make the salad crispy on the outside.

6. When you are done, put some in a bowl and enjoy!

Tips:

· When preparing the salad, toss gently, so the ingredients mix well but do not get soggy. This is where using a dressing comes in handy. If you are making this for dinner or are taking it outdoors, it is best to make it an hour beforehand to allow the salad to soak up all the dressing.

· If you want to add more ingredients like olives or feta cheese, be sure not to overdo it; otherwise, the salad will become soggy and gross.

· You can make this salad in the oven so it is crispy; this is a great way to make it for picnics or when you want a quick light lunch.

· You can use any dressing you like but try to avoid ones that have a lot of sugar, as this will alter the texture of your salad. If you make the salad at home, use whatever dressing you prefer. Ranch dressing is usually a good choice since it’s not too sweet and doesn’t change the texture of any ingredient.

· Never add more than 2 different spices to your salad mix because that will create an overpowering flavor.

· If you want the salad to be crunchy on the outside and soft inside, make sure to use an oven. If you are making this for your family or friends, then it is best to roast this in a pan so that all of your ingredients cook evenly.

· To be safe, wash your hands well and make sure you have no grease from other foods from touching the salad.

· You can add ham or chicken to your salad for lunch or dinner. Of course, you can always add chicken to make it more delicious. However, it is best to add extra seasoning because the chicken can be bland on its own.

· To make this dish healthier, you can always choose Greek yogurt over regular. Greek yogurt has less sugar and fat than regular yogurt.

· You should try varying your dressing, other than ranch dressing because this will give your salad a new flavor. Thousand Island is also good, but mustard-based salad dressings are the best!

· If you plan to make this recipe during the summer or on a hot day, make sure to put it out of the sun or inside so it does not spoil.

· This is a great dish to make for yourself if you are fishing, hunting, or camping.

· To ensure that your salad is not soggy, mix the ingredients in a bowl instead of tossing them. Mixing brings out all of the flavors and creates a delicious meal!

Once you finish your salad, try placing some pita bread on top. Pita bread or pita chips or tortilla chips or corn tortillas go great with any vegetable. You can also add hummus for more flavor. When making this salad for your family or snacks, it is best to make it 5 minutes or so before you want to eat it because, as I stated earlier, this is soggy, and if you wait too long, the salad will get old fast.
