Bring the flavours of Greece to your dinner table with this Greek Salad with Tzatziki Dressing. A simple, refreshing salad loaded with feta, olives and tomatoes, finished with a cool cucumber tzatziki on the side.
A green salad can feel almost too simple to call a recipe—toss a few ingredients together and you’re done. Still, ideas matter. This Greek salad is one of those easy dishes that delivers bright, summery flavours with very little effort. It’s especially satisfying when paired with a homemade tzatziki: cool, tangy and herb-scented.
Greek salad is a classic summer side, excellent with grilled fish or roasted meats. I often enjoy it as a full meal, especially when the tzatziki is served alongside so each bite stays fresh and tangy.
Tzatziki brings a delicious tang and creamy texture. Traditionally served as a dip for vegetables, bread or grilled meats, it also works beautifully as a dressing spooned over salad. Tzatziki is thick rather than pourable, so plan to dollop or spoon it over the greens.
Notes About The Salad
- To keep the tzatziki thick and avoid a watery dressing, make sure the grated cucumber is well drained. Place it in a colander over a bowl for 30–60 minutes, or wrap it in a clean towel and squeeze out the excess liquid.
Enjoy this easy, flavourful salad—perfect for warm-weather meals or any time you want a bright, satisfying side.
