Homemade Greek salad can be on the dinner table in 10 minutes. I’m always disappointed when I order a Greek salad at a restaurant. Usually overdressed, limp and flavorless. We now make it at home and it’s 100 times better than any restaurant salad!

Homemade Greek Salad

Seriously, on your table in no time flat! First, mix the dressing ingredients so the flavors can combine.

Prep the salad ingredients and place in a large bowl. I prefer to make individual bowls for my family. This way everyone receives extra of what they like and none of what they don’t like. Also, everyone can control the amount of dressing. No one likes a drenched and soggy salad.

Dress the homemade Greek salad, serve and enjoy! We made this our meal with skillet bread on the side.

You will love this salad, I promise! It’s the best Greek salad dressing I’ve ever eaten.
