Greek Salad


Looking for an easy salad to add some freshness to your meal? Look no further than this Greek Salad side dish bursting with vibrant colors and flavors. With juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, crunchy peppers, zesty red onions, and a medley of Mediterranean herbs, this salad is a celebration of summer on your plate.

Here’s where you can customize to your heart’s content. If you’re a fan of briny olives, toss in some pitted black Kalamata olives for an extra burst of flavor. And remember, if you’re preparing this salad ahead of time, hold off on adding the feta cheese until just before serving to keep it fresh.

Speaking of feta cheese, it’s the crowning jewel of this dish. Crumble this tangy cheese over the top just before serving, allowing its creamy goodness to mingle with the crisp vegetables and herbaceous dressing.

Whether you’re serving this Greek salad as a refreshing side dish at a barbecue, a light lunch on a sunny afternoon, or as a vibrant accompaniment to your favorite grilled meats, it’s sure to be a hit. So, grab your ingredients, toss them together with a Mediterranean flair, and enjoy the taste of summer in every bite.

Notes

Don’t be afraid to add other spices, or if you like peppers more add more peppers. Greek salad is very forgiving on the ratios.  If you don’t have cherry tomatoes slice up some vine ripened or Roma tomatoes. 
Enjoy.
