Description

This vibrant Greek salad is the epitome of fresh, Mediterranean flavors. Crisp romaine lettuce provides a sturdy base for juicy tomato wedges and refreshing cucumber slices. The dish is elevated by the briny punch of black olives and the sharp, creamy contrast of crumbled feta cheese. Finely chopped sweet onions add a subtle crunch and aromatic bite. Perfect for a light lunch, a picnic side, or a refreshing accompaniment to grilled meats, this salad is simple to assemble yet deeply satisfying. The combination of textures and temperatures makes it a crowd-pleaser that feels both rustic and elegant.

  5. Arrange the tomato wedges, cucumber slices, chopped onion, and black olives over the lettuce.
  6. Crumble the feta cheese evenly over the top of the salad.

Note

For best flavor, use high-quality feta cheese and ripe, in-season tomatoes.

This salad is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to prevent wilting.

You can substitute romaine lettuce with mixed greens or spinach for a different texture.

Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice for authentic Greek flavor.
