Brett and I had a fresh Greek Salad a week or so ago at Blue Kouzina when we were in Lido Key, Florida! They have some really amazing restaurants in Armand Circle and this was one of the places we stopped for dinner. We ordered the Greek Salad as an appetizer and were blown away how simple, yet delicious it was. Everything was just so fresh and the ingredients all complimented each other so well. So, I decided I wanted to recreate it! It’s a combination of some of my favorite vegetables and the dressing is perfect!
This salad is best as a side, and is good alone or served on top of a bed of greens! We tried both when recipe testing and it was great! I actually think this salad is perfect for the summer when you have fresh cucumbers and tomatoes from your garden or local farmers market.
What I would serve this Fresh Greek Salad with.
So I mentioned how this Fresh Greek Salad would be great in the summer. But I want to share a few ideas on how to serve it or make it a meal.
- With grilled chicken and put it over a bed of greens.
- On the side of falafel, pita, and hummus.
- Enjoy it as is for a snack or side dish to any meal!
We hope you love this salad as much as we do! If you’re looking for other recipe ideas, here is a list of some of our favorite Soups and Salads. And here are some of our favorite easy dinner recipes!
