Also called a horiatiki salad, the humble Greek salad is a staple of classic Mediterranean cuisine. The basics are, well, fairly basic: Take cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, olives, and feta and toss them together with a combination of herbs and oil. From there, the traditional Greek salad has endless possibilities. Some versions are topped with chicken or lamb, while others add capers or peperoncini.
Our easy twist on this delicious dish is jazzed up with Primal Kitchen Greek Vinaigrette Dressing (naturally!), a tangy blend of two types of vinegar plus avocado oil for good fats. This no-seed-oil dressing & marinade gets its zesty flavor from an herbaceous mix of thyme, marjoram, garlic, and a double pop of oregano. We kept this Greek salad recipe simple with traditional ingredients and added green pepper for a fresh, grassy flavor and crisp crunch that gives it extra zing.
