Panera Bread knock off Mediterranean Chicken & Quinoa Salad

Do you like restaurant knock off meals?  I sure do in fact I’ve done a couple posts on pastas and pizzas. Make sure to check those out while you’re here.  Recently my daughter and I met at Panera Bread for lunch.  While we were there she ordered the Mediterranean Chicken & Quinoa Salad.  I wasn’t sure I’d like it so I got something different.   She LOVED it and asked if I wanted a bite and I tried it and really liked it.  I was having some ladies over for lunch and thought this would be the perfect thing to serve. So I took some notes and this is my take on Panera’s salad.  Note: I did not use the almonds that they do.

Ingredients:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of cooked Quinoa
• 2 cups of chopped chicken. I used a rotisserie chicken
• 4 cups chopped Kale
• 4 cups of Romaine Lettuce
• 5 Basil leaves
• 1/2-3/4 cups of Feta Cheese
• 1 small jar of artichokes chopped
• 1/2 jar of Roasted Red Peppers chopped
•  8 Pepperoncini’s sliced into rings
• 1/2 cup of Sun dried Tomatoes
• @15 Kalamata Olives sliced
• a bottle of Greek salad dressing.  I used Wishbone Greek Vinaigrette

Chop all your ingredients into bite sized pieces.  Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. This serves 4 large servings

Serve with some crusty bread and fruit if desired.

This was really good, easy and healthy!
