Ina Garten Greek Salad
Description
This Greek Salad includes cucumber slices, diced red and yellow bell peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onions. The mix of colorful vegetables provides a crunchy base with fresh and sweet elements.
The dressing combines minced garlic, dried oregano, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Shaken together, it coats the salad evenly, lending a peppery, slightly acidic, and herbaceous profile that complements the vegetables.
Diced feta cheese adds a creamy, slightly salty texture while the pitted kalamata olives contribute a rich briny flavor. Served immediately, the salad feels lively and fresh, suitable alongside grilled meats or as part of a Mediterranean-inspired meal.
Leftover salad can be refrigerated for up to three days in an airtight container to retain freshness and flavor.
