Greek Brown Rice Salad

I’ve been on a bit of a Meditteranean kick. I’m trying to health up the rest of the summer, at least until Labor Day comes. Besides it’s August and it’s hot and it’s humid (whine whine whine) and I want to eat (and cook) cool and light. And so I made Greek Brown Rice Salad to go with my ~~soon to be~~ posted Spicy Beef & Feta Skewers.

I just did a post for Horiatiki Greek Salad not too long ago. Gosh, that was good. And I wanted to carry some of those flavors forward with a little twist. Funny how I listed so many variations of our American Style Greek Salads, but I didn’t mention or think about combining it with rice, let alone brown rice.

I’m betting you’ve had Horiatiki Greek Salad before, even if you don’t know what the heck it is! I didn’t even know Horiatiki was the proper name, and there’s a proper way to make it. If you’re like me, it’s the cucumber & tomato salad that’s so ubiquitous (look at me with the big words, today!) all over the US. And in Greece, of course, where it originated.

Okay, so the other night I was just hanging out at the Instant Pot Community Facebook page (can you say cooking nerd? and proud of it!) when my friend Tonya messaged me. We got to talking about what we wanted to make in the IP (we’re both super psyched about our Instant Pots), and she suggested Instant Pot Greek Gyros.

It’s been about a year since I last posted a recipe for one of my favorite salads, my Updated Panzanella Salad You’ll see it pictured, below. That would have been during our last glut of homegrown tomatoes. This year I wanted to change things up a bit and go Greek style, so here is this utterly delicious Greek Panzanella.

Happy Mother’s Day! I thought it would be a perfect day to post a favorite dish I used to make for my Mother after she could no longer cook. She loved this Chicken with Lemon & Artichokes, so I’m cooking it for you, today, frugal friends, and bringing it in on a budget.
