Method
 

How to Make Best Greek Salad
  1. Wash and dry your cucumbers, grape tomatoes, and green pepper. Dice the cucumbers and green pepper, halve the grape tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion. Combine these vibrant ingredients in a large mixing bowl with Kalamata olives and feta cheese.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the red apple vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground pepper.
  3. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is smooth and slightly thickened. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  4. Drizzle the freshly prepared dressing over the salad mixture, then gently toss everything together to ensure an even coating.
  5. Serve the salad immediately for the best freshness or refrigerate it for about 15–30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully together before serving.
