Classic Greek salad recipe

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Well, if you eat the same salad seven days in a row, it must be good right? After our trip to Athens I thought that this recipe should not be missing on my site. During this city trip I ate a Greek salad every day. So you can assume that I now know what the recipe is. Yet the Greeks secretly do things a little differently everywhere. Because sometimes the olives differ in color. The other added some croutons again. And I often encountered capers. So here it is: The Classic Greek salad recipe! And in the notes I will neatly name all the variations so that you can add what you like best. Whether you eat the Greek salad as a main course, starter or for lunch, everything is possible. traditional dressing Greek salad

I used my marinated feta recipe for this salad.

Classic greek salad recipe

Greek salad main course, starter, lunch…. This salad can do it all! In Greece, by the way, I was served the feta as a slice on the plate. Because I used my own recipe for marinated feta for this salad, they are cubes.

The Greeks often use pitted olives, but pitted olives are also possible!

That way you do have feta that has extra flavor. What I have especially noticed is that it is a well-intentioned salad and a really nice meal with, for example, a piece of bread. Of course it reminds me of summer. But you can also make me happy with it in the winter here in the Netherlands.

This salad with tasty feta is a real treat. I've found that it not only makes a delicious side dish, but can also serve as a main meal, especially when paired with some fresh bread. Whether you are in the Netherlands in the summer or in the cold winter months, this salad will certainly surprise and warm you. Enjoy it!
