TRADITIONAL GREEK SALAD RECIPE



Traditional Greek Salad Recipe image

Simple traditional Greek Salad with ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, olives and creamy feta cheese.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Salad

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium red onion
4 Medium juicy tomatoes
1 English cucumber (hot house cucumber) (partially peeled making a striped pattern)
1 green bell pepper (cored)
Greek pitted Kalamata olives (a handful to your liking)
kosher salt (a pinch)
4 tbsp quality extra virgin olive oil
1-2 tbsp red wine vinegar
Blocks of Greek feta cheese (do not crumble the feta, leave it in large pieces)
1/2 tbsp dried oregano

Steps:

  • Cut the red onion in half and thinly slice into half moons. (If you want to take the edge off, place the sliced onions in a solution of iced water and vinegar for a bit before adding to the salad. I do this in the video).
  • Cut the tomatoes into wedges or large chunks (I sliced some into rounds and cut the rest in wedges).
  • Cut the partially peeled cucumber in half length-wise, then slice into thick halves (at least 1/2" in thickness)
  • Thinly slice the bell pepper into rings.
  • Place everything in a large salad dish. Add a good handful of pitted kalamata olives.
  • Season very lightly with kosher salt (just a pinch) and a bit of dried oregano.
  • Pour the olive oil and red wine vinegar all over the salad. Give everything a very gentle toss to mix (do NOT over mix, this salad is not meant to be handled too much).
  • Now add the the feta blocks on top and add a sprinkle more of dried oregano.
  • Serve with crusty bread.

THE ULTIMATE GREEK SALAD



The Ultimate Greek Salad image

This is the most delicious salad - fresh and wonderful-tasting. FYI, lettuce can very much be a part of any greek salad - if you want it to. We like lettuce in my family and I often add it. It would not be 'authentic' in a Horiatiki (village) salad, but who cares?

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano (Mediterranean is best)
1 head lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces ((I use Romaine)
3 large plum tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 English cucumber, peeled and coarsely chopped (the long, thin, almost seedless ones)
1 medium red onion, cut into thin rings and soaked for 10 minutes in a small bowl of ice water to make it less sharp
1 small green pepper, cut into thin rings
3/4 cup kalamata olive
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Whisk dressing ingredients together until blended.
  • Season to taste.
  • Drain onion from ice water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Combine all salad ingredients, except cheese, in large bowl.
  • Toss with dressing.
  • Sprinkle cheese over and serve.

GREEK SALAD



Greek Salad image

Sometimes you just get a real craving for a DELICIOUS Greek salad. This one satisfies our palate every time. I serve it with Recipe#229467 & Recipe#229464, pita bread/dip, and a glass of wine for a nice Greek dinner. I hope you Enjoy!

Provided by Chef Decadent1

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tomatoes
1 cucumber
1 red onion
1 cup green pepper
1 cup red pepper
1/2 cup olive
4 ounces feta cheese
2/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Dice up the vegetables- I usually use a small red onion as I don't like it to overpower the salad. You can adjust the vegetables to your tastes.
  • Place the vegetables in a bowl along with the olives and feta cheese.
  • Mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and pour over the vegetables.
  • Usually I let everything sit and marinate in the fridge for approximately 1/2 an hour. This seems to marry the flavours! I like to serve it in a clear serving bowl as the colours are so fresh and appealing.
