    You are correct. There are more olive choices than ever, and I love "olive them".

    I like the spiciness of a pepperocini pepper in my Greek Salad. I would include that in the sandwich.

    • @Fireal4632
      @Fireal4632 2 місяці тому +1

      Pepperocini not spicy. Do people think they are? Not trying to be an arse I like more heat then that. Pepperocini taste like pickles to me tangy.

  • @permanentfitness1919
    @permanentfitness1919 3 місяці тому +8

    beautiful sandwich, my John. If you wanted a "creamy" style dressing, rather than adding the lemon juice, olive oil, feta and oregano individually, you could add them to a small bowl and add maybe a tablespoon of good Greek yogurt and mix those together (and maybe add a little garlic salt or granulated garlic to it as well. And then once it's all mixed together use that as the dressing/ binder for the chop. Either way would be delicious. 🤤
    *side note - you basically made the Greek Salad that I pretty much make weekly, but then chopped it up and stuffed it into a sandwich lol

    • @heidis4677

  • @karenroot450

    I think by chopping it up smaller the flavors have more surface to coat. Hence a much better taste. Thanks Chef John! This looks so tasty

    i used to make a sandwich like this from leftovers for days after roasting a lamb shoulder. Great recipe. Some Garlic sauce or Tzatziki really takes it to another level. One time i made the lamb sandwiches with some Truffle infused oil(which was what i had at the time at the back of the cupboard) and that was outrageous. Good times!!!

    Seems like another way to make a chicken salad sandwich. I love the traditional chicken salad, the cape cod chicken salad with the nuts and grapes in it and now this version. Yum to all the Chicken Salad Recipes out there no matter how they’re made.

    I love chopped salad; never had a chopped sandwich, but will definitely try this! So many variations and virtually no cooking; what's not to love? And, when it comes to French fries on sandwiches, I do believe it was invented at Rutgers in New Brunswick, NJ, because they've been serving them since the early 70s!

    Another thing I found that people from Pittsburgh do is when they make French onion soup, they sauté their onions in Cabernet. It’s a great flavor that I never tasted in any other city. I always wondered if it was just a regional thing.

    For olives the reason there's morre variety than other produce is because once jarred they have a very long shelf life so it's easy to stock multiple varieties as opposed to fruit where only a few may be in season at a single time

    Being doing something similar with tortillas, i only pull the chicken and have normal slices of the rest (and olive paste, the dark one), truly a lifesaver quick night food.
    The combination of tomato, Feta, and black olives is top tier, especially in pasta sauces, with the addition of various herbs and spices.

    This is incredibly similar to a Mexican sandwich called a "Torta." It has the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and onion, but instead of Feta cheese it's usually Monterrey Jack, and instead of olives, it's cilantro. And there's no dressing, but I spread some mashed avocado on one slice of bread, and refried beans (or bean dip as a time-saver) are spread on the other slice.
