Kalamata Olive and Feta Vinaigrette
I made Parmesan chicken and creamy mashed potatoes for dinner, and I wanted a Greek-flavored salad to pair with them. I found an easy kalamata olive and feta vinaigrette recipe on Closet Cooking that looked delicious, and since I trust Kevin’s recipes, I decided to make it. Since the vinaigrette has such strong flavors, I decided to serve it on a simple salad of baby spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and pine nuts. We all enjoyed this easy Green vinaigrette recipe on the salad, and it also tasted great with the chicken.

I would love this but my husband would not even touch it if he knew it had feta in it 🙁 Have a good week Diane
I love about anything with Feta in it and sure I’d like this dressing – will try soon. I notice there is mustard and honey in the photo but not mentioned in the ingredients list.
See what happens when I type a recipe while trying to do two other things at the same time? Thanks for letting me know!! I have corrected the recipe.

Wow, this looks amazing — just loaded with flavor. Neat recipe — and an easy one, even better. 🙂 Thanks so much.
I bet it was delicious and I love both the olives and the feta.
When we had our summer home in Maine, a restaurant there told us how they made their Greek dressing which I make but without honey and olives. Can’t wait to give this version a try…it sounds great.
I love how downright savory this vinaigrette is! So many gloriously salty elements to perk up the salad.
