A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.

Greek Salad
Ingredients
Greek Salad
- 6 cups lettuce, chopped
- ¼ red onion, diced
- 1 14 oz can olives
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
- 4 oz feta
Greek Vinaigrette
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tbsp dried dill
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep all of the salad ingredients (wash, chop, dice).
- If serving right away, add all of the vinaigrette ingredients to the bottom of a large bowl. If serving later or assuming there will be leftovers, add the ingredients to a jar. Mix together until combined.
- Add all of the prepped salad ingredients to the bowl and mix together with the dressing.
Notes
- Feel free to add more or less of any of the salad ingredients based on your taste preferences and/or dietary needs.
- If you’re making the salad ahead of time, wait until you serve it to add the dressing.
- If you’re going to have leftovers, only add dressing to the salad that is being eaten right away.
Made your Greek salad recipe tonight and it was delicious. I think I went wrong somewhere through since the dressing was a bit on the thicker side. Would you suggest adding a little more olive oil? I’m not sure if I used the wrong dry ingredients. Thank you!
I’m glad you loved it, Tania! In terms of the vinaigrette, it is on the “thicker” side I suppose because of the dried herbs. If you’d like it to be a little thinner next time, I think adding 1 tbsp olive oil and .5 tbsp red wine vinegar could help. It depends on your preference! As is, the vinaigrette really latches onto the salad ingredients without leaving excess in the bottom of the bowl. 🙂
Made this tonight with the whipped feta and 🎉🌈🙌🏼. Amazing, Kayla!! (Literally writing this as I eat.)
Aw I am seriously so thrilled you loved them both! A perfect pairing if you ask me. Thanks, Ashley! 🙂
Perfect Greek salad!
Glad you love it! 🙂
