The BEST Greek Salad
Prep Time:15 minutes
Total Time:15 minutes

Ingredients

Greek Dressing:

  • 1.5 Cups Oil Neutral, I go with avocado, canola or vegetable
  • 1 Tablespoons + 1 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tablespoons + 1 Teaspoons Oregano
  • 1 Tablespoons + 1 Teaspoons Basil
  • 1 Tablespoons Pepper
  • 1 T Kosher Salt
  • 1 T Onion powder
  • 1 T Dijon-style mustard
  • 1 T Sugar
  • 3/4 C Red Wine Vinegar

Salad:

  • Romaine
  • Feta Cheese
  • Half a red onion slivered
  • English Cucumber flat spears
  • Kalamata Olives could also use black olives
  • Tomatoes I left these out

Instructions

  • Make the Dressing: In a jar or bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients. I like to make this one day ahead of time or the night before, it's how the dressing flavors truly come alive. But if you forget try to make it at least an hour before using.
  • Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine romaine lettuce, feta cheese, red onion, cucumber, olives, and tomatoes (if using). TIP: I like to soak my romaine in ice water then spin it dry.
  • Toss and Serve: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tips:
 
  • Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the dressing in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble the salad just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp.
  • Customize Your Salad: Feel free to add or subtract ingredients based on your preferences. Other popular additions include bell peppers, chickpeas, or hearts of romaine.
  • Dietary Considerations: For a vegan option, use a vegan feta cheese.
