Ultimate Greek Salad

Pin It

I'm SO excited to share this recipe!! It's hands down one of our favorite summertime dishes, if not our favorite. I even went as far as dubbing it "ultimate" so you would know just how serious I am about it's utter deliciousness :) It's so simple to make and best enjoyed in the summer when veggies are at their peak.


Ingredients
4-5 ripe roma tomatoes
1 large red bell pepper
1 small red onion (or 1/2 large onion)
1 hothouse cucumber
15 oz. can garbanzo beans
1/2 cup feta, more to taste

{For the dressing}
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. oregano
Salt/pepper

Directions
Prepare the dressing: in a small bowl, combine vinegar, oregano, salt/pepper. Slowly add olive oil, whisking to combine. Set aside.
Rinse and drain beans. Dice tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, cucumber. Remove excess liquid from tomatoes.
Put vegetables and beans in a large bowl.
Toss dressing with salad. Add feta, lightly toss.
Best if refrigerated for an hour or two before serving (that is.... if you can wait that long. We never can.)
