Greek Salad Recipe

This salad is perfect for the summer produce season: bites of ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions drizzled with herbs and olive oil and topped with salty Kalamata olives.

Get the tomatoes and cucumbers in the season while you can (and while they’re cheap), and try them with this recipe as a nice break from the standard bowl of leafy greens.

Need some protein to go with that? Here’s a quick and simple baked chicken recipe with matching seasonings: you could serve it with this, either hot or cold. Or try it with some baked fish: salmon would be great, and any white fish would also work.

If you personally tolerate dairy, you could always add some feta cheese on top to make it even better – or try almond cheese for a dairy-free alternative. But it’s also good without if you just want to enjoy the fresh flavors of the vegetables without anything else in the way.
