I have been going to Greek restaurants for a very long time and have always enjoyed the Greek salad there. If you have never tried Greek salad, order it next time you are at a Greek restaurant. It will go great with almost any other dish you are ordering. Olives, feta, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions together provide a fabulous combination of textures and flavors in this delicious salad.

The key to this authentic Greek salad is definitely this amazing Greek Salad Dressing. Greek salad dressing recipe is a combination of Greek oregano, red wine vinegar and olive oil. The dressing is so simple, but it brings together all the ingredients extremely well. The oregano is the key to the whole Greek salad.
A long time ago I tried to recreate the Greek salad dressing. But it would not come out right until I learned that I needed Greek oregano. Once I added Greek oregano to my dressing, that was it. The dressing tasted delicious and authentic.
You need to use Greek oregano in this recipe. If you don’t have it, you can buy it a grocery store, or you can buy it online.

Love the salad picture! I want to make greek pasta salad, and am looking for ingredients and dressing.
Do you think if I just add pasta to this salad it will work? Also, what type of pasta should I use?
Thanks!
Hi, thank you for complimenting the picture!
Yes, adding pasta to the salad should work. I would also make more dressing, and add more herbs, as you will to flavor the pasta as well.
I would use any short cut pasta – macaroni, penne, etc.
