Classic Greek salad is known for having vibrant colors from the fresh vegetables tossed with my simple Greek salad dressing recipe.
INGREDIENTS
Ingrediants for Greek Salad Dressing
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp dried oregano leaves
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
- ¾ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Greek Salad Ingredients
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved (or 1 pound garden tomatoes, chopped)
- 1 English cucumber, or 4 garden cucumbers, sliced into 1/2 inch-thick half-moons
- 1 bell pepper, any color, stemmed, seeded
- 6 oz feta cheese, diced from a block or crumbled (about 1 cup)
- ½ cup pitted kalamata olives, halved or roughly chopped
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
DIRECTIONS
- Make the dressing – Measure the vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper into a medium bowl or resealable mason jar, and mix to combine. Next, add the oil to the mixture, and whisk or shake vigorously. Set aside.
- Make the salad – In a large serving bowl, place the prepared tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, feta, olives, and red onion. Toss to combine. Add the dressing and toss to coat the vegetables just before serving. Serve immediately.
- Dress and Serve – Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the top and toss to combine. This salad is best enjoyed within 2-3 hours of adding the dressing.
