Chopped Greek Salad

March 19, 2019 By Angie Trusty

Chopped Greek salad – A combination of fresh, colorful vegetables, feta and tossed in a simple Greek vinaigrette dressing

Greek Salad

This salad is so easy to make, it just requires tossing together some simply chopped fresh vegetables.  Use this recipe as an inspiration to develop your favorite Greek salad.  Try tossing in some chick peas, pepperoncini or peppadew peppers.  I’ve even tossed in prosciutto and toasted pita croutons.  Pickled red onions were used in this version because they add a tasty punch of flavor.  Sliced red onions could be substituted.

Greek Vinaigrette

Making vinaigrette is so easy.  Combine all the ingredients in a glass jar and shake to mix well.  Mustard in vinaigrette acts an emulsifying agent and helps the vinegar and oil stay combined. I prefer Dijon mustard because of the mild flavor.  A lot of vinaigrette recipes will call for 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar.  Since I like vinaigrette a little more tangy, I use 2 parts oil to 1 part vinegar.
