What’s in this 15-Minute Greek Feta Salad?
When it comes to making this Greek salad you want to use the freshest ingredients as possible. You’ll need:
- Feta block
- Green pepper
- Olives
- Tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Red Onion
- Red Wine Vinegar
- Olive Oil
- Oregano
Tips for Making this 15-Minute Greek Feta Salad:
- Feta. Buy the feta in blocks and keep in the fridge until you need to slice in half. This way the feta will remain cold and easier to cut.
- Olives. I have a minor obsession with olives so I could add kind. However, use what tastes good to you!!
- Cucumbers. I find that the small cucumbers used for pickling are better suited for this fresh salad recipe. If you have a regular cucumber I would peel the waxy skin off.
Frequently Asked Questions:
If you aren’t a fan of feta, what other kind of cheese do you recommend?
Feta can be a tough, tart cheese to like sometimes so if that isn’t your jam you could try goat cheese or even whipped ricotta.
Can I make this salad ahead of time?
You can prep all the ingredients ahead of time including the dressing. However, I would assemble 5 minutes prior to consuming so all the ingredients taste fresh.
Can I mix up the veggies that are used in this salad?
Yes! You can add whatever kind of veggies you’d like to this salad.
Can I add a protein to this salad to make it an entree?
Absolutely. Grilled chicken or fish would be a lovely addition to this salad.
