Greek salad highlights the beauty of the Mediterranean diet, where a few simple, fresh ingredients in their most natural form turn into a dazzling salad. Pair it with my homemade Greek salad dressing and you’re good to go!
What I love most about this Greek salad recipe is that it’s veggie-packed and contains no leafy greens. That means all of the ingredients can be prepped ahead of time (as I showed in my summer meal prep), then tossed together when you’re ready to serve. So needless to say, it’s the perfect summer salad recipe that’s always on repeat. Plus, I give a few ideas in the video on how to add protein for a heartier meal!

I made this for my family tonight. I doubled the vinaigrette and used the extra to marinate chicken tenders. It was flavorful, a huge hit and all of us want it again. Thank you for a simple and quick recipe.

As a Greek, I would say you are totally right we don't use dressing just really good quality Greek Olive oil and maybe a splash of red wine vinegar Olives are always kept whole 😁 As another user said You could smash them (or use a small knife to cut around the pit) right before you need to if you're serving Little ones. For any bread eaters the best part After eating the salad is the dressing that's left at the bottom of the bowl!
-
I made this today but added quinoa and some fresh parsley! Super delicious and a great way to eat lots of veggies at once.
-
As a Greek I can say that you are a master of this salad 🥗 well done 👍

We keep the olives whole, sometimes with the pit and it’s always Kalamata olives.I love the way you pronounced "Horiatiki".👏🏻☺️
