This Greek Chopped Salad recipe is loaded with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, bell pepper, and herbs. With a bright, flavorful dressing, it’s a salad you’ll turn to again and again!

Ingredients

3 cups ½"-diced seeded English or Persian cucumber (Do not peel. To seed, slice cucumber in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and discard.)
2 cups halved grape tomatoes
1 cup ½"-diced green bell pepper
½ cup thinly sliced red onion
½ cup pitted, halved Kalamata olives
Greek Salad Dressing
¼ cup chopped fresh mint leaves
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
¼ cup chopped fresh oregano leaves
6 ounces block feta, roughly crumbled with a fork into ¼"-½" pieces or cut into cubes

Instructions

For the most flavor and a crisp, cold texture, about 1 hour before serving, add the cucumber, tomatoes, green pepper, red onion, and kalamatas to a large bowl. Fold gently to combine.
Make the Greek Salad Dressing.
Drizzle about 2/3 of the Greek Salad Dressing over the salad mixture and fold a few times to coat well. Cover and refrigerate, folding again after 30 minutes. Place chopped herbs in a small bowl with a lid and refrigerate. Place feta in a small bowl with a lid and refrigerate.
When ready to serve, add more Greek Salad Dressing to the diced/sliced salad ingredients if needed, and fold again to incorporate. Then add the herbs and feta, and gently fold again. Add a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper over the top, if desired.

Notes
