Recipe: The Ultimate Greek Salad
Salad Recipes, Side Dish Recipes, Vegetarian Recipes
I love a good Greek salad filled with tons of fresh veggies, Greek olives, and Feta cheese! This ultimate Greek salad is a no brainer, but every time I serve this, my friends ask for the recipe. I am almost embarrassed to hand it over because it is so easy to make! So here you go, my Ultimate Greek Salad filled with delicious Mediterranean flavors. Remember that Greek olives and olive oil are higher in fat, but it’s monounsaturated heart-healthy fats filled with nutrients your body needs. I like this salad as a side dish, but you could easily serve it as an entree. I like to omit the romaine lettuce and store this Greek salad in mason jars for easy lunches during the week. The other ingredients last a few days, and I just pour over a bed of lettuce for an instant lunch!
