    I recommend adding feta cheese after tossing the salad with dressing. That will keep the fresh taste of cheese instead of it being soaked in oil. But it depends what you like.

      I discovered this on another person’s CZcams channel and I agree with you. I actually add the dressing last! It tastes better that way for me

      @@janetholmes6659 Good morning! In Greek salad, anyone can put whatever he wants. The dressing in restaurant, normally is optional. Although, we prefer a combination of olive oil, salt , oregano and some people put vinegar too. Vinegar is something extra that elevates the plate, but not all people like it. So, its up to you. Hope i helped :)

    I make a Greek salad about every day except I only use cucumbers, tomatoes, basil, and olives, along with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I’m not a fan of any of the other ingredients, but people look at me crazy when I tell them that an original Greek salad doesn’t actually have lettuce in it!!!!

    I'm from Bulgaria and we eat something called 'Shopska Salad'. It's basically Greek salad but instead of Feta cheese, we use another cheese that is really similar called 'Sirene' and it's delicious. In my family, we don't put garnish and oregano, etc. we just use tomatoes, cucumber, onion, sirene, olive oil, and vinegar. (I prefer mine without onion, but that's just my opinion. Thanks for this awesome video. I think I'm going to make some right now with olives..

    Yay! I love watching your channel buts hard to find recipes that are desserts. My husband is diabetic and I’m on Keto. This Greek salad will be on my table tonight. Thanks!

    Beautiful, I can taste it! Makes me think of summer, as I sit here in the cold, with rain pouring down outside......
