Directions: |
Directions:1. To begin, make the cucumber/sour cream topping. Place chopped cucumbers in a strainer, sprinkle with salt and place over a bowl to drain. Transfer to another bowl and stir in the sour cream, garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. To assemble the salad, select a deep, clear glass bowl ( a trifle bowl is ideal). Fill the bottom of the bowl with the spinach. Spoon garbanzo beans on top and sprinkle with lemon juice and oregano. layer tomatoes and chicken slices. Sometimes I omit the chicken and serve whole roasted chickens on separate platter if for a large group. But if I am serving only a few I layer the slices in the salad. Sprinkle chopped basil or any herbs that you like over the chicken. Layer roasted peppers. Follow with artichoke hearts, crushed red pepper and olives. Sprinkle with parsley, and Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper. Spread the cucumber/sour cream mixture to cover the top. Sprinkle with dill weed.
3. Chill, covered, for at least 3 hours (Or overnight).
4. When ready to serve, garnish the top with red onion, tomatoes and feta cheese. |
