Mediterranean Greek Salad is a fresh, vibrant dish featuring crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, briny olives, and creamy feta tossed in a simple olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing. Light yet satisfying, it’s perfect as a refreshing meal or colorful side dish.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce (optional)
  • 1 large cucumber, chopped
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1 cup diced or crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and romaine lettuce if using.
  3. Gently fold in feta cheese.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.

Notes

  • Traditional Greek salad typically does not include lettuce.
  • Use block feta packed in brine for best flavor and texture.
  • Add sliced bell peppers or capers for extra flavor.
  • Top with grilled chicken or chickpeas for added protein.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Keep dressing separate until serving to maintain crispness.
