Greek Salad with a Lemon Garlic Dressing

Greek Salad with a Lemon Garlic Dressing


I made this fresh Greek salad with a lemon garlic dressing to go with the Greek Style Minestrone with Turkey and Feta Meatballs I made for dinner. The salad was simple, crisp, salty, garlicky, and a bit tart. We all really, really loved the flavors. Simple recipes are the best!

  1. Your link to the minestrone isn’t working from this page. I’m loving your site, thanks for the great recipes and great pictures!

  2. I discovered your website few weeks ago but yesterday I cooked my first recipe from you! I was looking for something ‘simple’ but new, same kind of products (tomatoes, salad,…) with different tastes. Easy but wonderful, I love it! Thank you so much 🙂

  4. I made this with goat cheese rather than feta, and was quite shocked when I found that tossing it with the dressing it caused it to soften and become part OF the dressing. But my family loved it that way and that’s how I’ve made it ever since. It’s wonderfully creamy.

    Love this recipe.

  5. I was wondering what the measurements for the salad are. I wold like to make this for a gathering of twenty people

  6. I made a salad for eight. So you will need to double or triple the dressing recipe. I don’t measure salad ingredients. You will want at least a cup of lettuce per person, unless it’s the main course, then you will want more.
