Greek salad was something I had almost every single night with dinner. I am one quarter Greek, despite my naturally blonde hair! And my mom made Greek salad each night with dinner. It was something that I would help her with frequently, and by help I mean just sit on the counter and eat Kalamata olives! So, this salad is very nostalgic for me. But, I'm adding protein to make into a meal. If makes a delicious side salad as well if you want to omit the sausages too.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
Greek Inspired: I love this salad because it's Greek inspired, with Kalamata olives and feta bringing tons of bold and salty flavor.
Protein Rich: I add fully cooked chicken sausages to this salad so it has enough protein to be a meal.
Packed with Nutrients: This salad is packed with nutrients from the lettuce, tomato, onion, olives, feta, and more.
Ingredients & Health Benefits
EVOO: I love organic extra virgin olive oil for salad dressings as it's full of antioxidants and it has great flavor.
Balsamic Vinegar: Organic balsamic vinegar gives this salad some tang. Vinegar is also great for gut health.
Lemon: Organic lemon brings zest and a little tartness to this salad.
Oregano: I use organic dried oregano, which is a classic Greek spice.
Salt and Pepper: Key ingredients for flavor!
Garlic Powder: Organic garlic powder provides great flavor in dressings and it's so easy.
Onion Powder: I use organic onion powder in the dressing for flavor.
Fully Cooked Sausages: I use Applegate Organic Spinach Feta Chicken Sausages for ease and added protein to make this salad a meal.
Romaine Lettuce: Organic Romaine lettuce is the base for this salad. It's rich in vitamins A and K, it supports healthy vision and bone health.
Cucumber: Organic cucumbers bring a light crisp flavor and are high in water content, which helps with hydration.
Tomato: Packed with vitamin C and lycopene, organic tomatoes can promote heart health and reduce inflammation.
Red Onion: I love organic red onion as they bring so much flavor. They also have quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Feta: Organic Valley Feta is my favorite. It provides calcium and protein, supporting bone health and muscle function. Always buy block feta, never crumbled! The crumbled usually contains additives or stabilizers and it's not necessary at all. My dad always says “true Greeks never buy crumbled feta” and he could give a shit about stabilizers haha. The blocks just have better flavor!
Kalamata Olives: The key ingredient to this salad is organic Kalamata olives. THey are high in healthy fats and antioxidants, they promote heart health and reduce inflammation.
