    This really is one of the Easiest Greek Salad in Vinaigrette Dressing recipe ever.
    I like how delicious this tastes as well!

    Easiest Greek Salad in Vinaigrette Dressing

    Easiest Greek Salad in Vinaigrette Dressing

    This salad encompasses everything that you might expect to get out of a great Greek Salas.
    It features that great taste of a tangy dressing the fresh vegetables that make up the salad.

    It really is the delicious taste of the fresh vegetables that make this salad so good.
    The burst of flavor from every bite of fresh vegetables really make this salad a favorite. Especially when that fresh taste is balanced with the tangy taste of a vinaigrette dressing on top of it.

    Greek Salads are generally an easy salad to make once you gather your ingredients.

    The secret to making a good one is to offer one or more green vegetables that are complemented with a burst of red within them.
    Thus, it really is not just the taste of this salad that makes it so good. It is the colors as well.

    Those green vegetables are pretty much the standard in every Greek Salad.
    I am talking about the cucumbers and peppers, lettuce, or herbs that are part of the salad itself.
    Of course, the red comes from the tomatoes that balance out that green in color and also in taste.

    There are a few other names for what we call the ‘Greek Salad’.

    Possible the term ‘horiatiki salad’ is the most known of these names.
    What always seems to be the same are the main ingredients that go into it.

    I have already mentioned the red and the green ingredients.
    However, I will also mention the Kalamata olives, onions, peppers and seasoning that are popular ingredients.
    I have even had this salad served to me with a couple of anchovies on top and it was really good too!

    Greek Salad is most often served with a vinaigrette dressing on top or tossed into it.

    Vinaigrette dressing is an easy dressing that you can make just before serving your salad.
    This dressing is also known for its balance of a great tasting extra virgin olive oil with a tangy red wine vinegar.

    We will also be adding a few other ingredients to our vinaigrette dressing in this recipe.
    While some folks will add a bit of extra form of tangy from lemon juice, I am going to mix things up a bit. This recipe will call for a bit of Dijon mustard whisked in instead of the lemon.

    This salad is also served with chunks of cheese in it.

    You probably already know that the cheese used in this recipe is Feta cheese. Feta is a goats (or sometimes sheep) milk cheese that is easy to crumble. The somewhat soft texture of this cheese is a great complement to the tangy vinaigrette dressing.
