My favorite Greek Salad Recipe is made with plenty of fresh, crunchy veggies, cubes of salty feta, and a delicious, simple vinaigrette - no lettuce in sight.

Ingredients
For the Greek salad dressing:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the salad:
- 1 large cucumber peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and sliced into 1/4-inch slices (see note 1)
- 1 pint grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, halved (see note 2)
- 1 large green bell pepper stemmed, seeded, and diced (see note 3)
- 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup pitted kalamata olives
- 4 ounces feta cheese cubed or crumbled
Instructions
- To make the dressing, in a small bowl whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste (I like ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper).
- In a large bowl, add cucumbers, tomatoes, green bell pepper, red onions, and olives. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Top with feta cheese and season to taste with salt, pepper, and oregano.
Notes
- Cucumbers: If you use hothouse, Persian, or other thin-skinned cucumbers, peeling and seeding is optional.
- Tomatoes: Substitute chopped tomatoes if you want (you'll want about 12 ounces).
- Bell peppers: Green bell peppers are traditional, but you can use red, yellow, or orange peppers.
- Yield: This recipe serves 4 as a side dish.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you want to meal prep the salad, leave out the feta cheese until the day you are going to eat it.
