This greek salad recipe originally featured in the September 2009 BBC Good Food magazine and can be found on the website. I've been making it for a number of years now and the flavours of the oregano and Greek extra virgin olive oil really make this greek salad absolutely delicious! As well as having it as a side with our lamb burger or as part of a meze platter with our Greek lamb meatballs (you’ll find our recipes within the links below), it's a great side dish to have with grilled meats at a barbecue.
Tips
- The original recipe says to peel the cucumber, but I don’t.
- We’ve enjoyed this greek salad recipe with salad leaves mixed through it and have also added cooked and cooled pasta, to make a delicious pasta salad.
- The recipe is easily halved if making for 2, or increased if making for more people. The photos of the salad in the bowl is half the recipe.
