Easy Greek Salad is the perfect option when you’re looking for a simple and healthy recipe.
Mixed greens, tomato, red onion, avocado, cucumber, feta cheese, olives, and smoked salmon topped with a lemon vinaigrette.
I am always looking for an easy, but tasty option for lunch and this salad is just that! Mediterranean food is so healthy and delicious. Full of fresh ingredients and flavors that satisfy any craving. I added smoked salmon on top for a little protein and because it’s easy to add to the salad. There is no cooking required for this meal!
What to serve with Easy Greek Salad?
This salad has so many amazing ingredients that you really can eat it by itself and be completely satisfied. However, if you want to add something else to the meal I suggest a nice cup of soup or sandwich. You can also change the type of protein that is added to the salad. I used smoked salmon for this recipe because it’s easy and healthy. You can also add a nice piece of grilled fish or chicken too.
How much dressing should be used on the salad?
Start by adding the dressing slowly to your salad. You don’t want to over dress the salad and have it swimming in dressing. I usually add a small amount and then serve the dressing on the side if you want additional flavor.
Can I make this salad ahead?
This salad can be made ahead of when you’re planning to eat it. To make it ahead of time add all of the vegetables to the bowl and cover with saran wrap. Next, add all of the dressing ingredients to a bowl or shaker. Cover with saran wrap and place the vegetables and dressing in the fridge until ready to use.
