For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card below. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb!

Nothing says summer quite like a fresh Greek Salad and our slimming friendly version is ideal if you’re counting calories or following a plan like Weight Watchers.

A traditional Greek Salad would usually also include some olive oil and olives, but we’ve omitted these to keep this recipe as low on calories and Points as possible. You can, of course, feel free to add some if you’d like, but you’ll just need to remember to adjust the nutritional values accordingly!

We prefer to use mixed leaves as the basis for our Greek Salad, but you can use whatever you like – romaine, iceberg or kos lettuce would also work really well!

What diets is this Greek Salad suitable for?

Please make sure to double or triple check all of your ingredients if you’re cooking for people with allergies.

Do you need any special ingredients to make this Greek Salad?

Usually salad dressings are made with a mixture of olive oil and vinegar, but we’ve found that the vinegar from a jar of mixed pickled vegetables or pickled gherkins works really well as a substitute for olive oil and vinegar when mixed with a bit of water.

We love these Melis Mixed Pickled Vegetables from Asda as they’re sooo nice – we get through at least a jar a week!
