Greek Salad with caramelized onion

This Greek salad recipe is a simple, fresh, tangy and delicious way to eat your veggies. And it tastes just like the Greek salad from Zoe’s Kitchen!

Greek salad recipe with caramelized onion

You can make this Greek salad for one, which I do often.

Or you can make it for a crowd.

Greek salad is so great with a side of grilled chicken, hummus and pita bread…or a side of pizza. 😉👊🏻 Just sayin’! This isn’t meant to be a meal in itself. Pair it with whatever tickles your fancy.

Those veggies, though…MMMM!

What ingredients go in Greek Salad?

I used tomatoes, cucumbers, red (um, purple?) onion, kalamata olives, and a bell pepper ring right on top. Definitely a winning combination.

Sprinkle it with a little feta…

I will say that a little feta goes a long way in the flavor sense. But I admit some days I want more feta. My recipe amounts are merely suggestions, people! Just add how much sounds good to you that day. 😆👍🏻

The top it off with my tangy Greek red wine vinaigrette .

Side note: this Greek red wine vinaigrette dressing has become one of my most popular recipes. I am glad y’all are loving it!🙌🏻

I love it too. I makes me want to eat all the salad.😆 It tastes a whole lot like the stuff from Zoe’s Kitchen.And it is made with simple ingredients.

Red Wine Vinaigrette ingredients

In fact, this entire Greek salad recipe was inspired by the Greek salad at Zoe’s. I craved it when I was pregnant with both of my kids. Well, okay…fine! I crave it regardless. 😆 But the level of craving was turned up a few notches when I was pregnant. It certainly doesn’t hurt to know how to make one of these for myself! 😉

If you really want to take it to the next level, add some caramelized onion. 😍

Adding a fork full of caramelized onion to salad

In all honesty, I do not always take the time to do this step. But it is what gives this salad that Zoe’s feel.

It takes a little extra work and patience. But! You won’t be sorry. And if you want to be semi-lazy like me and leave it off sometimes, that’s fine too. 😎

    I HAVE BEEN MAKING BONELESS CHICKEN BREASTS FOR MANY YEARS ( I AM 82) AND HAVE NEVER EVER HAD BETTER AND JUCIER RESULTS.I ONLY MADE ONE TODAY AS A TEST AND EVEN MADE ITIN MY TOASTER OVEN BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY ONE.
    TOMORROW I WILL MAKE MORE IN THE OVEN .
    THIS IS REALLY FABULOUS. THE GREEK SALAD DRESSING (ZOE’S KITCHEN) WILL SURELY BE A HIT AS WELL.
    MY HUSBAND IS ON A LOW SODIUM DIET SO I LEAVE OUT THE SALT AND OLIVES FOR HIMAND JUST USE A SPRINKLE OF FETA ON IT.
    A MILLION THANKS

    This is such a great salad, and I swear your dressing is better than the one at Zoe’s.
