Greek Salad<\/strong> is easy to make and bursting with flavor. With only six ingredients \u2014 cucumbers, tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, olives, and feta \u2014 it\u2019s one of the best healthy salad recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This classic Greek salad <\/strong>highlights the beauty of the Mediterranean diet<\/a>, where a few simple, fresh ingredients in their most natural form turn into a dazzling salad. Pair it with my homemade Greek salad dressing<\/a> and you\u2019re good to go! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love most about this Greek salad recipe is that it\u2019s veggie-packed and contains no leafy greens. That means all of the ingredients can be prepped ahead of time (as I showed in my summer meal prep<\/a>), then tossed together when you\u2019re ready to serve. So needless to say, it\u2019s the perfect summer salad recipe<\/a> that\u2019s always on repeat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since a traditional Greek salad is only made up of 6 simple ingredients – quality matters! For vegetables, pick the freshest ones out of the bunch. For cheese and olives, keep an eye out for quality brands you love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
