Greek Salad

D prefers the Greek salad over Ceasers salad mainly due to its rich taste from feta cheese, kalamata olives, grape tomato and ofcourse the awesome but easy to make salad dressing.


Prep time - 10 mins

Ingredients :

Veggies :

Romaine lettuce - 1/2 bunch, torn into small pieces
Cucumbers - 1, medium, sliced along with the skin
Cherry tomatoes - 15 nos
Kalamata olives - 10 nos, pitted
Green bell pepper - 1 medium ,thinly sliced
White onion - 1 medium, sliced [ I did not add this time ]

Feta cheese - 1/4 cup, crumbled

For the dressing :

Extra virgin olive oil - 1 tbsp
Lime juice - 2 tbsp
Oregano - 1 tsp
Salt - as per taste
Gound pepper - 1 tsp or as per taste.

Procedure :

Mix all the contents under the " for the dressing " section in a small bowl. Keep it aside.


Wash all the veggies properly and in a big bowl mix all the veggies and feta cheese. Pour the salad dressing over the veggies and toss the salad.


Serve the greek salad with a pita bread!

  3. Yes I just checked, you do get both kalamata olives and feta cheese in chennai... For fets cheese -am sure Nilgiris HQ would have both... you can also check Amma naana or any other gourmet outlet. For kalamata olives - chk for them in the canned vegetable / fruit / food section. Also if not available you can replace them with black olives.
