Avocado Greek Salad with a Greek Salad Dressing is a family favourite side salad served with anything!
A twist on the traditional Greek Salad! Loaded up with creamy avocado and a touch of lettuce along with green peppers (or capsicum), tomatoes, cucumbers, feta, olives, and onion. The best side salad for any meal!
Greek Salad
In this house, however, we always add avocado. Avocado – on – everything – addiction. And why not?! It’s such a great addition, you’ll be doing it too! This salad has been happening daily WITH EVERYTHING Greek-flavoured. Greek lamb chops? Done. Greek chicken? YES! That’s not all though…Avocado Greek salad goes with anything!
How To Make Greek Salad
With all this Greek Salad making and eating, I have to say what makes a good Greek salad even better is a dressing so full of flavour you could drizzle it all over your meat like we do (and like I did here with this Greek Lemon Garlic Chicken Salad). It only takes a few ingredients that I bet you already have in your kitchen. Throw out your bottled dressings. Once you realise how easy and fast it is to make your own, you’ll be giving the bottled stuff the flick.
What goes in a Greek Salad Dressing!
- Red wine vinegar — substitute with lemon juice (FRESHLY SQUEEZED!)
- Garlic.
- Dried oregano — in the seasonings section of your supermarket.
Want to bulk up your salad? Add lettuce like we have here (I love Romaine or Cos).

Hi, I absolutely love this salad!
Just wondering if you could confirm whether the carb amount is the total or net carb amount?
Thanks!

This a really really nice salad. Even my hubby and eldest son, both salad haters, ate it. I didn’t have fetta so left it out, but super easy and super healthy and quick. Thanks so much.
Nicole says
Loved it! I made some adjustments (used lemon juice, cherry tomatoes, added basil, parsley, and pinch of red pepper flakes, doubled the dressing, 2 avocados, mixed olives, skipped the green pepper) and tossed with chicken. Delicious.
Nikoline says
This has been my go-to greek salad, sinse i found your website. I put green olives in it, instead of the black ones, but the dressing is to die for! Honestly this can be eaten with anything!

Hey,
Is there anything other than feta I could use as my partner is lactose?
Karina says
You are welcome to leave out the feta. You can add tofu if you prefer or leave it out completely. Hope that helps! XO

Karina says
This will serve about 4 to 6 people.

This is one of the best recipes I’ve ever gotten off Pinterest. My pet peeve is when people rave about a recipe but mention they changed half the ingredients. This needs no changes & I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve made it!!
