Greek salad with feta - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use goat cheese, ricotta salata, or even a mild crumbled queso fresco as a substitute for feta if you prefer a different flavor or texture.
Greek salad is best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate if possible to maintain crispness.
Yes, Greek salad is naturally low in carbs, especially if you reduce or omit the onions and use fewer tomatoes. The primary ingredients (cucumber, bell pepper, olives, feta) are low-carb friendly.
Absolutely! Grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas are great protein additions that pair well with the flavors of a Greek salad.
For larger groups, prepare ingredients separately and assemble just before serving to keep them fresh. Offer dressing on the side for customization.
Freezing is not recommended, as cucumbers and tomatoes become watery and lose their texture when thawed. Enjoy it fresh for the best results.
Yes! Simply omit the feta or use a dairy-free feta alternative made from tofu or almonds. Ensure the olives and dressing are vegan-friendly.
To avoid sogginess, pat dry chopped vegetables before mixing, and add dressing just before serving. Store leftovers without dressing if possible.
Classic choices include oregano, thyme, or basil. Fresh herbs like parsley or dill also add vibrant flavor when sprinkled on top before serving.
