Ingredients Needed

• 1 head Romaine lettuce, chopped
• 4 ripe tomatoes, cut into six wedges, then halved
• 1 large cucumber, peeled, cut into fourths lengthwise, and diced into large chunks
• 1/2 red onion, sliced very thin
• 30 pitted Kalamata olives, halved
• 6 oz crumbled feta cheese
• Fresh parsley, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar (more to taste)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 6 Kalamata olives, extra, chopped fine
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 lemon, for squeezing

How To Make Greek Salad

1. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the chopped Romaine lettuce, tomato wedges, cucumber chunks, thinly sliced red onion, halved Kalamata olives, half of the crumbled feta, and fresh parsley.
2. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and finely chopped Kalamata olives. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary (adding more sugar is common).
3. Assemble the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss everything together gently using tongs or clean hands.
4. Top and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle the remaining crumbled feta over the salad and squeeze fresh lemon juice on top. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• Use fresh ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh Romaine lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and a firm cucumber. Fresh produce really enhances the taste of the salad.
• Adjust the dressing to taste: You might need to add a little extra sugar or vinegar to balance the flavors. Taste the dressing before pouring it on to make sure it’s just right.
• Chill the salad: If you have time, let the salad chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. This helps the flavors blend together and makes it even more refreshing.
• Don’t over-toss: Toss the salad gently to keep the ingredients intact. Over-mixing can break up the vegetables and make the salad soggy.
• Add extra toppings: Feel free to add more toppings like roasted red peppers or a handful of chickpeas for extra texture and flavor.
