How To Make Greek Salad

1. Make the Dressing: Add olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, and salt to a jar. Whisk or shake until emulsified and fragrant.

2. Prep the Veggies: Slice the cucumber, tomatoes, green pepper, and red onion. Dice the avocado and cube the feta so everything is ready to toss.

3. Combine the Salad: Add all vegetables, feta, and olives to a large bowl. Pour over the Greek salad dressing and toss gently to coat.

4. Season and Serve: Taste and add a pinch of salt only if needed, since feta and olives are salty. Sprinkle extra oregano and serve with chicken, fish, lamb, or beef.

This Greek salad pairs beautifully with a variety of mains. Try it alongside Sticky Thai Chicken Wings for a sweet and spicy contrast, or serve it with Honey Mustard Chicken Stir Fry for a bright, tangy complement to the rich sauce. For a heartier option, pair it with Creamy Tomato Chicken Drumstick, where the smooth, savoury tomato base balances the salad’s crisp freshness.
