Easy Greek Salad

Carol Food

We’re in the hot days of summer, and now is the perfect time for a cold salad full of ripe veggies.  Today’s recipe is easy Greek salad.  Traditionally Greek Salad has English cucumber slices, ripe tomato wedges, thin slices of red onion, Kalamata olives, green pepper, and Feta with a dressing made from extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar or lemon juice and seasoned with a little dried oregano. Simple, easy, and delicious, Greek salad is great for lunch or dinner.  Classic Greek salad does not have lettuce, but it is a vegetable salad with all the flavor of summer.

  1. A Greek salad like this is my go to summer salad and since we won’t be taking our annual vacation to Greece this year I may be serving it more and more!

  4. This is one of my favourite kinds of salad, so easy to make. When I’m asked to make a salad for an event I always make a Greek salad 🙂

  5. OMG, this is right up my alley. There’s a good gyro place down the street, but I usually order their Athens salad rather than a gyro and your recipe looks even better. Yum, thanks for this recipe.

  6. I almost have everything here at the lake to make this without going to the store. I might have to substitute vinegars and a red pepper for a green, but I can work with that. I adore Greek salad and this sounds terrific, Carol. Very refreshing, too.
