Instructions
- Stir together the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl or measuring cup.
- Peel the cucumbers, then cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out and discard the seeds, then cut them into large chunks.
- Slice the tomatoes and olives in half, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the bell pepper. Add all of the ingredients for the Greek Salad to a mixing bowl.
- Pour all of the dressing on top and mix together until everything is well-coated in dressing.
- Serve this fresh Greek salad in a salad bowl immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. The fresh veggies are best when served immediately so I recommend serving this healthy Greek salad recipe within 24 hours of making it.
- Enjoy this traditional Greek salad recipe with crusty bread or pita bread alongside any main dish for a great addition to your meal.
