Notes
- Pro tip: Prep your ingredients ahead of time and store them separately until you're ready to assemble the salad. The dressing may also be made up to a few days in advance.
- For best results, toss the Greek salad right before serving to prevent the lettuce from wilting.
- Customize this salad with a few pantry staples such as roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts and more. The Greek dressing may be swapped with homemade Italian dressing or lemon vinaigrette.
- Nutrition information does not include the dressing as that information is calculated in a separate post.
- Meal prep option: place the salad ingredients in containers or layer them in jars. Store the dressing separately and toss the salad with the dressing just before serving.
