This keto Greek salad delivers everything you love about the Mediterranean classic — crunchy cucumber, sweet tomato, briny olives, and creamy feta — without the sugary dressing or pita. Whisk the lemon-oregano dressing, toss, and you have a fresh, filling low-carb lunch in 15 minutes flat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced English cucumber (about 1 medium cucumber)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion
- 12 pitted kalamata olives
- 3 ounces block feta cheese, cut into cubes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (or red wine vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for emulsifying)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper until emulsified. Set the dressing aside.
- 2
Add the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, bell pepper strips, and sliced red onion to a large bowl.
- 3
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
- 4
Scatter the kalamata olives and cubed feta over the top. Toss once more, very lightly, so the feta stays in cubes rather than crumbling.
- 5
Taste and adjust salt and pepper (remember the feta and olives are already salty). Serve immediately, or chill for 10 minutes for a colder salad.
Tips & notes
- Block feta packed in brine has far better flavor and texture than pre-crumbled feta. Cube it just before serving so it holds together in the salad.
- Soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 5 minutes and drain to mellow its sharp bite, if you prefer a milder onion flavor.
- This salad keeps for up to 2 days in the fridge, but the cucumber and tomato will release water over time. For meal prep, store the dressing separately and toss just before eating.
