  • 2 cucumbers
  • 4 roma tomatoes
  • ~1 cup sliced red onions
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/2 cup black olives or other types of olives, drained

Greek Lemon Vinaigrette

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (juiced from fresh lemon)
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup or honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  2. Chop the vegetables: Slice the cucumbers, roma tomatoes, and red onions into bite-size pieces. Drain the black olives and cut them in halves for easier eating.
  3. Combine the salad: Place all the sliced vegetables and olives into a large bowl that allows for easy tossing.
  4. Toss with vinaigrette: Drizzle the prepared Greek lemon vinaigrette over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh lemon juice in the vinaigrette.
  • You can substitute black olives with Kalamata olives for a more authentic Greek taste.
  • This salad is best served fresh; however, you can refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  • Adjust the sweetness in the vinaigrette by varying honey or maple syrup amount to your preference.
  • Optional: Add chopped fresh mint or parsley for added freshness.
