Luscious Greek Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Add the chopped lettuce, tomato wedges, cucumber chunks, onion slices, halved olives, half the feta and some parsley to a large bowl.
• Combine the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper and chopped olives in a bowl or mason jar. Whisk or shake together until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings (I almost always add a little more sugar).
• Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients, then add some salt and pepper. Toss with tongs or clean hands. Just before serving, top with the remaining feta and squeeze a little lemon juice over the top.

Steps:

• Place the Dijon mustard in a small bowl and add the lemon juice. Mix this well with a fork.
• Slowly pour in the olive oil while you keep mixing briskly with the fork. (You want to achieve a little emulsification.) Then add salt and pepper to taste. Be a little stingy with the salt as you are going add lots of salty feta cheese and Kalamata olives to the salad.
• Dip a piece of the lettuce into the dressing to see if the dressing is to your liking. If not, make adjustments now.
• Place the romaine lettuce in a large salad bowl. Add the other vegetables and avocado, then top with the Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese.
• Pour the dressing on top and lightly toss the salad.

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.
