Ingredients

Scale

Greek Dressing:

  • ⅓ cup red wine vinegar
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper (or to taste)

Greek Salad:

  • 1 pint (2 cups) sweet cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded & chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded & chopped
  • ½ red onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 cucumber, chopped
  • 1 handful fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives
  • ⅔ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

1. Make the Dressing:

In a small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, olive oil, water, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.

2. Assemble the Salad:

In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, cucumber, parsley, basil, olives, and feta cheese.

3. Dress & Toss:

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

4. Serve or Chill:

  • Serve immediately for a crisp texture.
  • For best flavor, refrigerate for 1-2 hours (or overnight) before serving.

Notes

✔ Use fresh, ripe vegetables for the best flavor and crunch.
✔ Let the salad marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving for deeper flavor.
✔ Adjust salt and pepper to taste—some feta and olives are already salty.
✔ For extra richness, add avocado slices or grilled chicken.
