Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Cucumber
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly spray a standard muffin tin with olive oil spray.
Press each wonton wrapper into the muffin tin cavities to create small shells.
Lightly spray the wonton wrappers with olive oil spray to help them crisp up.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
While the wonton shells cool, prepare the chopped salad. Finely chop the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Combine them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the feta cheese and sliced Kalamata olives to the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chopped salad and toss well to evenly coat all the ingredients.
Spoon the chopped salad into the cooled wonton shells just before serving to keep them crisp.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chopped Salad Appetizer Shells!
