How to Make Greek Salad
To make this super easy salad, all you have to do is chop up all the ingredients so that they’re roughly the same size and add to a bowl along with crumbled feta then whisk together the dressing ingredients before pouring over top. Simply toss to combine and you’re done. Easy, right?!
Tips for Making the Best Greek Salad
- Use feta cheese that is in a brine if you can get it as opposed to feta that comes in a package. It’s just so must tastier.
- Chop all the ingredients up into roughly the same size pieces. The salad will mix better that way.
- Use the best produce you can get your hands on. There are only a handful of ingredients to this salad, so using fresh produce with help them shine.
- Be gentle when tossing the salad. You don’t want to bruise any of the produce.
