Greek Salad Recipe Ingredients

Here are the few simple and fresh ingredients you will need:

• English Cucumber – use as little or as much as you’d like, and skinning the cucumber is also up to your preference.
• Cherry Tomatoes – you can use all red or mixed coloured cherry tomatoes. You can also use roma tomatoes.
• Onion – you can use either red or white onion, keep in mind red onion is sweeter and higher in sugar content so you may want to use less.
• Feta Cheese – full fat is fine! Light feta cheese has much less flavour. I usually use a block of feta and crumble the pieces by hand, you can decide on how big you want your pieces to be.

Greek Salad Dressing Ingredients

• Seasonings – keep it simple using a salt high in minerals, pepper, and oregano. Either fresh or dried oregano has many health benefits such as being antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-fungal, with vitamins and antioxidants.
• Olive oil – be sure to use a high quality extra virgin cold pressed olive oil. Also look at the country of manufacturing. I usually get the Kirkland brand and it’s traced right back to Italy and cold extracted.
• Apple Cider Vinegar – make sure to include this beneficial ingredient into any salad you make because it adds flavour and helps to maintain blood sugar levels and glucose spikes. Apple cider vinegar aids in digestion and promotes weight loss.

Additional Ingredients you may want to include are minced garlic, dill or mint leaves, olives (black or green), diced avocado, or fresh lemon juice.
