Greek Salad

May 20, 2014 by naivecookcooks 13 Comments

Greek Salad are the perfect warm weather salad with simple ingredients!

Greek Salad

The first time I had Greek Salad in my life was when I visited Greece. Weird as it may sound but I never really had proper Greek salad before. I was quite surprised with the simplicity of this salad. We often find ourselves with leftover cucumbers, tomatoes and onions lying around and I more than often  run out of ideas to put them to use.

This salad screams summer and is the perfect salad for rising temps!

 Perfect salad to take to picnics, to take to work for lunch or as a low calorie but filling alternative to salads with those fattening dressings. The best part is that it maintains its crunch without the dressing for a quite a long time and so perfect to as a make ahead salad.

It saves the day when I have no inspiration for cooking and to me when its 90 degrees outside, this cool salad keeps me sane.

You can serve it along with some meat, grilled veggies, flat bread with feta or it even tastes good with some gravy and rice. I served this along with avocado egg rolls.

    I love Greek salads! Yours looks so good. I will have to give that dressing a try. Don’t tell anybody, but sometimes I use bottled dressing. So much better when its fresh!
