I add lemon juice for some zing!
I lived in Greece for 2years and YES!! this is the real thing !! When I got home everyone kept presenting a bowl full of lettuce with the other veggies and calling it a "Greek Salad" and I would say no it's not. But thank you for putting it on line for the rest to see.
Loved it - I made it with everything, tomato, feta, cucumber, pepper, olives, the whole nine yards :-)
This was a great way to use produce from my garden. We both loved the way it tasted, and I particularly liked that it so easy to prepare. I was a little hesitant about "liberably" salting the tomatoes, as we are both on low sodium diets. But I took the leap and this recipe is one that definitely requires salting the tomatoes. I did add a splash of balsamic vinegar to my bowl, and that just took it over the top for me. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe.
This is such a delicious summer salad! It is light, but very flavorful. We used tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers from our garden which give it the best flavor. We serve it alongside a grilled steak or chicken and it compliments the meat very well. It makes quite a large amount, so with the leftover amount I added bowtie pasta and chicken to make a pasta salad...it is amazing!
This Greek salad is AMAZING! We love it and now make it once a week.
This is so easy to make and it is out of this world delicious! I made souvlaki and needed a salad. It's fresh and tasty! I will make it again when we have a Greek meal.
So great with my garden fresh vegetables this time of the year! Next time I'll use a little less feta I also used a dollop of tzatziki! Love this summer side dish!
I really enjoyed this, especially since it wasn’t “lemoned” to death!!! Even the cucumber (not exactly a fan) tasted wonderful!!! One hint though, which my daughter told me about! I’m having motor difficulties with my hands, so she suggested I use my potato peeler to slice purple onions with!!! It gives me SO much more control!!! Also, I made the tomato chunks smaller, since most salad offerings are cut too large for some folks! I used an heirloom tomato I have been saving, and it was the best “Greek Salad” I’ve ever experienced! Thank you for sharing!!!
