Side Greek Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette

This is a simple, savory side salad that goes great with almost any entree when you need to add some more vegetables to your meal. Whip up a double batch and save some for another meal. Store with the dressing on the side so it can last up to 3 days in your refrigerator.
Complete your plate: Pair this salad with a vegetarian entree like Slow-Cooker Ratatouille with White Beans for a plant-based Mediterranean meal.
