Easy Greek Salad Recipe

This Easy Greek Salad Recipe is a simple and refreshing Greek cucumber salad that is ready in just 15 minutes. Combine the chopped veggies with feta and a simple homemade Greek salad dressing.

What are common Greek salad ingredients?

There are a few different types of Greek salads. In the United States you most commonly find Greek salads that are made on a bed of romaine lettuce with lots of different toppings.

This is a delicious version of a Greek salad, but these is a more simple version of a chopped Greek salad that is sometimes called a peasant salad.

In Greece this peasant salad simply includes some cucumber, tomatoes, red onion and a big blog of feta in the center served with some seasonings and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. This Easy Greek Salad Recipe is my take on the peasant salad.

I decided to add some kalamata olives to my salad because I love them. Then, I cut the feta into cubes so that the saltiness from the feta could mix into the whole salad.

Finally, I added some vinegar to the dressing and tossed my chopped ingredients in the simple Greek salad dressing.
