Tips and Tricks
- Buy the Kalamative olives pitted to save time.
- The dressing is the show stopper in this recipe. I always like to make this in advance in place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to chill. It really makes the salad tastes so much better.
- If you are dairy-free you have two options; remove the feta all together to sub a dairy-free feta cheese such as Follow Your Heart or Violife.
- Make a big batch of this on Sunday and use it for a quick meal prep option with your favorite protein. It will add a ton of flavor and make you excited for lunchtime again.
My Greek Salad Dressing Can Be Used Many Different Ways
This dressing can be used for much more than just a salad. Use it to bring amazing flavor to veggies, proteins, and salads. In addition, you can use it as a marinade for pork, chicken, and beef. It takes no time at all to whisk together and s much healthier than any store-bought brand. Serving it over the top of crisp asparagus or green beans is another favorite of mine.

I was craving a Greek salad and this was the perfect answer! I served it with chicken thighs for lunch and plan on having it a few more times this week. It makes a pretty big batch and while I am the only one in the house who will eat it, I’m not mad about having it all to myself. The dressing is a delicious mix of sweet and tangy. I chose to chop my onions smaller because that is my personal preference. I also forgot to purchase the fresh parsley, so I used dried instead. I’m sure fresh would be even better, but if you only have the option of dried, it still works.
This was soooooo delicious and refreshing. The perfect side to our grilled chicken thighs. Everyone should make this now 🙂
