Greek Salad Recipe FAQs
Does authentic Greek salad have lettuce?
No, a traditional 'Horiatiki' or Greek village salad does not contain lettuce. It's a rustic mix of tomato, cucumber, onion, pepper, olives, and a slab of feta.
What is Greek salad dressing made of?
The most authentic dressing is very simple: high-quality extra virgin olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, and a generous pinch of dried oregano, plus salt and pepper.
Should I crumble the feta cheese?
Traditionally, no. In Greece, the feta is served as a whole slab or in large chunks on top of the salad, allowing you to break it off with your fork.
What kind of olives are best for Greek salad?
Kalamata olives are the classic and most authentic choice. Their rich, fruity flavour is a key part of the salad's taste profile.
Can I make Greek salad ahead of time?
You can chop the vegetables an hour or two ahead, but for the best flavour and texture, only add the feta and dressing just before serving to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.
What do you serve with Greek salad?
It's a perfect side dish for grilled meats like lamb or chicken, or a main course on its own with some crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices at the bottom of the bowl.
