Try Ina Garten's fresh Greek Salad recipe from Barefoot Contessa on Food Network for a colorful veggie dish that's studded with salty olives and feta cheese.

Greek Salad

hothouse cucumber, unpeeled, seeded, and sliced 1/4-inch thick

red bell pepper, large-diced

yellow bell pepper, large-diced

cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

red onion,

feta

calamata olives, pitted

garlic,

Dijon mustard

red wine vinegar

salt

black pepper

olive oil

Place the cucumber, peppers, tomatoes and red onion in a large bowl.

For the vinaigrette, whisk together the garlic, oregano, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Still whisking, slowly add the olive oil to make an emulsion. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables. Add the feta and olives and toss lightly. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve at room temperature.

Amazing and healthy dish. I added grilled shrimp for some protein. 

Pro tip: save the cucumber seeds and flesh and drop them into a pitcher of cold water. It’s the perfect healthy drink to accompany the salad. 

I would say average or just OK . I save the vinegar from pepperoncini jar and when I make Greek vinaigrettes I use that instead of red wine vinegar . You would be surprised how good it is , it gives the dressing a real tang . I also save the vinegar from the jar of hot peppers . Also give this a try for an Italian dressing , McCormick's sells these little spice grinders now , some times for $1 . Get the Italian and grind some fresh spices for your next Italian dressing , and use the pepperoncini vinegar . 

bon appetite TheReaper!

Good dressing. Almost used the bad red wine vinegar, then realized the recipe specifies "good red wine vinegar." Nearly messed up big time. Thanks Ina

We've been making this every week for months! We keep everything separate in containers  so it doesn't get soggy and put it together at dinner time. The dressing is perfect too! So happy my husband found this recipe. 

So easy and absolutely delicious.  I like to refrigerate this salad for about 1-2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.  This salad is not only delicious, it is beautiful and colorful in presentation.  Everyone always love it!

Ina,<div>We love this salad, made it to your directions as always and it was a hit at a friends party this weekend. Its been one of our favorites since this summer when we first made it! </div><div>Thank you!</div><div> Highly recommend it to anyone who likes Ina's recipes as much as we do!</div>

This recipe is awesome and authentic Greek salad- all the goodies, no lettuce! I have never found this in any of her cookbooks.  Have I missed it? So beautiful in a clear glass bowl, such pretty colors. 

Fantastic!!! I served it in a warm pita with warm grilled chicken and my family loved it!


Great with infused olive oil too. Citrus flavor is my favorite.

This is my go to recipe for a Greek salad. The dressing is perfect!

Ina Garten makes Greek Salad using fresh vegetables, feta cheese and her homemade vinaigrette dressing.

The Barefoot Contessa Makes Her Greek Salad Recipe

Simple traditional Greek Salad with ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, olives and creamy feta cheese.

Traditional Greek Salad Recipe

red onion

Medium juicy tomatoes

cucumber

green bell pepper (cored)

Greek pitted Kalamata olives (a handful

kosher salt (a pinch)

extra virgin olive oil

Greek feta cheese

Cut the red onion in half and thinly slice into half moons. (If you want to take the edge off, place the sliced onions in a solution of iced water and vinegar for a bit before adding to the salad. I do this in the video).

Cut the tomatoes into wedges or large chunks (I sliced some into rounds and cut the rest in wedges).

Cut the partially peeled cucumber in half length-wise, then slice into thick halves (at least 1/2&quot; in thickness)

Thinly slice the bell pepper into rings.

Place everything in a large salad dish. Add a good handful of pitted kalamata olives.

Season very lightly with kosher salt (just a pinch) and a bit of dried oregano.

Pour the olive oil and red wine vinegar all over the salad. Give everything a very gentle toss to mix (do NOT over mix, this salad is not meant to be handled too much).

Now add the the feta blocks on top and add a sprinkle more of dried oregano.

Serve with crusty bread.

Greek Salad with Oregano Marinated Chicken

lemon, juiced

(6 to 7-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts

garlic, smashed

lettuce

vine-ripened tomatoes (about 3/4-pound),

red onion, very thinly sliced

kalamata olives, coarsely chopped

feta cheese

To marinate the chicken: In a non-reactive dish, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper and mix together. Add the chicken breasts to the dish and rub both sides in the mixture. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.

To make the dressing: Combine all the ingredients in a resealable container and shake vigorously. Refrigerate until ready to serve, and then bring to room temperature before tossing salad.

Assemble the salad: cut off any dark tips and the bitter white bottoms from the romaine leaves. Cut the lettuce into 1-inch strips and place in a bowl that is large enough to hold all the salad ingredients comfortably. Scatter cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta over the top. You can prepare the salad up to a few hours in advance. Cover it with a moist paper towel and refrigerate until 30 minutes before serving.

To cook the chicken: Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook, turning once, until well browned, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Let the chicken rest on a cutting board for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Give the dressing a good shake and pour it into a nice little serving bowl, using the lid to strain out the garlic.

Toss salad just before serving and fan chicken out on top.

This was so quick and easy!  Two of my fav words when I cook.  The only thing that i would recommend is that you allow the chicken at least an hour to marinate i only did mine for 30 minutes and think it would be better longer.  Other than that it was wonderful and so healthy!!!! It's a keeper!

Overall a great greek salad recipe but the real standout is the chicken.  I was going to marinate my boneless, skinless chicken breasts for four hours (to get the most flavor possible) but after two hours the lemon had started to cook the meat so I went ahead and grilled them.  I cannot tell you how wonderfully lemony and juicy they were.  This marinade is going in the permanent recipe file.  Thanks Dave!

Such a fresh bright taste.  I skipped the olives and loved it.

Excellent and quick marinade for chicken.  Very flavorful.

I served this dish when we had company and everyone loved it.  The chicken was the biggest hit of all.  The chicken had delicious flavor and was very moist.   This is a keeper in my recipe file.

<span class="o-AssetTitle__a-HeadlineText">Greek Salad with Oregano Marinated Chicken was delicious</span>

THIS DISH WAS SO EASY TO PREPARE AND TASTED SO WONDERFUL. I AM NOT GOOD AT MAKING HOME MADE DRESSING, BUT THIS ONE IS A KEEPER. THE CHICKEN FLAVOR IS WONDERFUL. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS !

Better than expected.  Salad and chicken make a perfect light evening meal.

This is a great filling salad that is an easy dinner main course. My only suggestion is to double (or more) the dressing portion depending on how much you expect to make - definitely not enough for 4 servings.

kosher salt

olive oil,

head romaine lettuce

calamata olives,

Feta cheese, crumbled

English (seedless) cucumber, trimmed,

vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, halved

green pepper, trimmed, seeded, and diced

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, salt, and oil. Stir in the oregano and pepper to taste. Set aside.

When ready to serve: In a large bowl lightly toss the lettuce with some of the dressing. Divide the lettuce among 4 salad bowls. Scatter the olives, cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and peppers over the top of the greens. Serve and pass the remaining dressing at the table.

get good feta, it makes all the difference

I love this salad! It's a good way to eat healthy and fresh without being ordinary and bland. I did follow the directions given in "yes, the real thing" except for making a paste from the garlic and salt. I just pressed the garlic and added it with the salt to the EVOO and lemon juice to make the dressing. We don't really care for olives and my husband hates bell pepper, so I omitted those. Also, I substituted sweet onion for the red. We will make this again.  :)

I also followed the VA reviewers tips, minus making a paste from the garlic (the easier the better for me!).  Also, only marinated the veggies in the pepper and oregano for 30 min, but everything still came out great!  Very flavorful. And while I dont normally add lettuce to my greek salads, I thought the addition was nice. Sometimes I felt like our non-lettuce greek salad was too heavy/filling or dull.  The lettuce and adding the spices to the veggies (not the dressing) were a great change.  This recipe will become a regular recipe for us!  Husband loved it too.

My husband was craving a type of Greek salad sold in the grocery store deli department and I found this recipe.  I used all the ingredients except for the lettuce, so it was just a vegetable salad.  I also used Italian seasoning instead of oregano and it tasted great!  Very authentic and easy.  A great, fresh dish for Summer.

Use real Feta cheese to add an extra blast of flavor to the salad. Real feta is cheese is from Greece and made with a blend of sheep and goat milk not cow's milk. Dodoni is my favorite brand of Greece Feta cheese. You'll thank me later.  

This is an excellent Greek salad. Prep is very manageable and it impressed my dinner party. Would definitely recommend.<br />

Guzaria is Greek tapas: many little dishes that can be snacked on for a fulfilling meal. Old Athens would gather at small bars at the end of a hard day to find community members, discuss the day, and share food and drink at a leisurely pace over the course of the evening. Ouzo and cold beer are the suggested beverages with your Guzaria menu. Guzaria Menu: Greek Salad, Grilled Pita Bread, Greek Meatballs in Wine Sauce, Baked Gigantes Beans and Grilled Shrimp.

Serve salad with pita bread blistered and warmed on a hot griddle or grill pan.

This is a very quick and easy recipe that is delish! I added an extra tsp of Red Wine Vin. along with a couple of extra dashes of oregeno and it added a tang- which I like. Highly recommend- and don't skimp on the tomatoes! Off the vine is the only way... :P

The only thing I didn't have was the red bell pepper.  I also had the crumbled feta and it was still perfect!

RR's Greek Salad was delish!!!!!

I used RR's Greek Salad &amp; Sara's Chicken with Tomato and Feta Cheese Sauce &amp; all the accompaniments (See her menu), &amp; it was delish!!! - (Plus, I added Sara's Tabouleh) to this menu - and my guests went wild!
I didn't put Feta in the salad because of the Feta in the Cx Sauce, but I did set some on the side. And, it was used
up on both the salad &amp; Cx. I guess they couldn't get enough of that Feta. :)

Libations: Boutari Red Noussa Reserve from Greece &amp; sparkling water. The whole menu, plus what I added is a keeper! Thank you, Sara! Thank you, RR!
Become adventurous! Imagine! Create! Experiment! And, Enjoy!

Next weekend, I'm trying is RR's complete menu along with her Greek Salad. Can't wait!! Yum__M!

This Greek salad is so crunchy and flavorful! I serve it wrapped in the pita bread with zadziki sauce (cool cucumber sauce) along with the original dressing. It is soo healthful and filling, but I always force myself one more...I can't resist its that good.

I'm Greek and I've been making Greek salads for years, but this is truly the best one I've ever had.  I always make it when guests come over. We just love it!

This salad was a superb hit w/ our friends at their dinner party. Great color, flavor and scent. We even made it for our annual Holiday Party in December (which added great color to the serving table) and plan on making the salad again for our upcoming party. Fabulous Salad!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!  You definitely need some sort of bread to go along with it if you are making a meal out of it.  Flat bread or pita bread goes very well.  Great taste!

This quick easy to make, full of flavor recipe is a great dish to take to work.  You can prepare it the night before and by the time lunch comes the following day, the flavors are amazing and intense.  It's one of my new favorite things!!!

Ray has done it again! Her simple recipe for this salad is just amazing.

Rachael's Greek salad is lettuce-free but full of chunky veggies and feta.

Rachael's Greek Salad Recipe

Layer fresh Greek salad toppings over a cool yogurt dip with sweet cucumber and creamy feta cheese for a refreshing, lighter-tasting option at parties.

Greek Salad Layered Dip

Kosher salt

low-fat Greek yogurt

feta cheese, crumbled

mint

red onion, diced

black olives,

bread

Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater into a bowl. Toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pour into a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes. Using your hands and working with a bit of the cucumber at a time, squeeze the excess liquid out of the cucumber and place the cucumber in a large bowl. Add the yogurt, feta, garlic, 1/4 cup of the chopped mint, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the bowl with the cucumber. Stir to combine and add more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl.

Toss the tomatoes, red onion, olives and remaining 2 tablespoons mint together in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the cucumber mixture. Serve the dip with warm pita or vegetable chips.

Delicious and easy to throw together, I served it with Trader Joe’s pita chips.

This was a delicious addition to our game day spread! I served this with raw veggies, "sweets&amp;beets" chips,  and whole wheat lavash bread. It is a lighter dip, nice and fresh, very good with the veggies.

I love everything Greek. This dip takes me back many years . . . and it's delicious. Our guests raved about it. I did, however, use my own full-fat yogurt (so easy to make).
