Ingredients

- 1 small red onion sliced into thin strips
- 1 medium English cucumber diced small

- ⅔ cup black kalamata olives pitted
- 12 ounces artichoke hearts I used Trader Joe’s frozen that I allowed to thaw
- one 15-ounce can garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
- 4 ounces feta cheese
- 1 medium Hass avocado cubed
Greek Dressing/Vinaigrette
- ⅓ cup olive oil plus more for final drizzling if desired
- 2 to 3 tablespoon red wine or balsamic vinegar balsamic is stronger and will give more bite
- 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- 2 to 3 teaspoons granulated sugar optional

Instructions
For the Salad:
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl; set aside.
For the Greek Dressing:
- Add all ingredients except sugar to a small bowl and whisk vigorously to combine. Taste, and optionally add the sugar. I personally couldn't go without it because I use the higher end of the spectrum of both vinegar and lemon juice. As desired, add more oil, vinegar, salt/pepper, etc. as desired. Tweak the ingredients to make it your own and suit you.
- When you're happy, pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat evenly.
- If desired, add a final drizzle of olive oil over the salad, and serve immediately.
Notes
- After being dressed, I suggest consuming salad as soon as possible, but it will keep airtight for up to 3 days in the fridge noting that it will become more watery as the vegetables release their juices and the avocado oxidizes.
