Summer is a wonderful time for salads.  This Greek salad recipe is the best salad recipe to accompany any burger dish or to bring to a barbecue this summer.  The cucumbers and cherry tomato make this dish a delight. And, with the added avocado, it tastes smooth and creamy. The kids and my hubby just loved it. Make it tonight and taste for yourself!

1 cucumber sliced longways then sliced into ¼ inch wide pieces
¼ red onion, cut in half then sliced thin
½ cup olive oil (Affiliate Link)

Ingredients for the greek salad recipe

How to make a Greek salad recipe?

Remove oregano (Affiliate Link) from the stem, then chop it into small pieces. Set aside.

Thinly slice the red onion and cut into quarter slices to make small strips. This makes the slices more edible in size. Set aside.

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside. If they are large, cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters. 

Cut the ends of the cucumbers. First, cut it longways, then slice the cucumbers in about ¼ to ½ inch pieces. Set aside.

Add the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions to a bowl

Add the red wine vinegar, olive oil (Affiliate Link), salt, pepper, and chopped oregano (Affiliate Link) and whisk (Affiliate Link) together in a larger bowl. Set aside.

Mix the ingredients to make the salad dress for the greek salad

In a large bowl, add tomatoes, onions, and cucumber, and toss with the dressing.

Mix the ingredients with the salad dressing

Add the kalamata olives to the bowl. Toss.

Then, add the herbed feta, and toss lightly.

Add the feta and the olive and then the avocado

Cut the avocado into cubes. Add the cubed avocado and toss lightly. Note: a just-ripe avocado will stay together more than an avocado that has been ripened for a while. 

Refrigerate for 2 hours or so. 

That's it! And, here's the single-serving size. Doesn't it look delicious? Feel free to add a protein like a grilled chicken dish. Below are some grilled chicken recipes from our blog.

    I love avocado but would never have thought of adding it to a Greek salad. Thanks for the recipe!
