My family loves Greek salad.
And I love that it seems to go with about any entree that I serve. With the cucumbers, tomatoes, and lots of Feta cheese, how could it go wrong?
I love to make my own salad dressing since that way I know it is fresh, has no preservatives and no MSG. This salad dressing is about as easy as it gets.
Here’s the recipe.
GREEK SALAD
3 large cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and cubed
3 large tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
1 large onion, chopped
1 (10-ounce) jar pepperoncini salad peppers, drained
1 (7-ounce) package feta cheese, crumbled
10 to 15 Greek black olives
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 large head romaine lettuce, torn
Combine first 10 ingredients; cover and chill at least 1 hour. Just before serving, toss vegetable mixture with romaine. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
Greek Salad Dressing (optional)
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil,
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon oregano
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Combine and serve.
This looks so good! I’ve never made Greek Salad but I love all of the ingredients and the dressing sounds wonderful — pinned this! Would be so good for our summer meals!
Un insalata sicuramente buona!! buona serata…ciao
Dear Anita
Congratulations! You have done a real wonderful GREEK salad! Here in Greece from May onwards until October every day eat this salad. But instead of 1 (10-ounce) jar pepperoncini salad pepper, we put raw peppers. You test with raw peppers, the taste is different. Is delicious but if we put too much oil, then ….. I put some bread and dip ….

Oh, Greek salads are one of my favorites. My husband I just found a greek restaurant near us and we love it…they were originally from where we lived before moving down South.
Hope you have a great week!
