Hello from Greece! For those who are wondering, Greek salad doesnt contain lettuce. Also, we dont use netheir mustard nor thyme in the dressing. But its always good to see your videos and trying your recipes. Thank you!

Hello to Greece. Would you kindly please tell me how authentic Greek dressing is made. I had some today at a Greek restaurant and I did not taste any vinegar.

@@janetholmes6659 Good morning! In Greek salad, anyone can put whatever he wants. The dressing in restaurant, normally is optional. Although, we prefer a combination of olive oil, salt , oregano and some people put vinegar too. Vinegar is something extra that elevates the plate, but not all people like it. So, its up to you. Hope i helped :)

how do you spell Greek salad in Greek? I want to look it up and maybe find some authentic recipes

I recommend adding feta cheese after tossing the salad with dressing. That will keep the fresh taste of cheese instead of it being soaked in oil. But it depends what you like.

I discovered this on another person’s KZread channel and I agree with you. I actually add the dressing last! It tastes better that way for me

I do this too. I also just hate seeing nice chunks of feta get mixed up and semi-liquify inside the dressing

I absolutely love Greek salad , this dish looks so delicious 🤤

Dressing 3:24: 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/2 lemon zest 1 tsp fresh thyme 2 tbsp fresh oregano 2 tbsp red wine vinegar 2 tbsp honey mustard 1/2 lemon juice (2tbsp) 1/2 tsp salt This needs the olives and feta to round out it's flavor.

I know this is a four year old video but I made this for my sister per request and I used your video and she absolutely loved it thank you!!!

You are my hero! Made greek salad twice already using your recipe and it’s a hit. I have to make it 2x a week now😊. Thank you for sharing your recipe, chef! I enjoy your cool and friendly personality! All the best!

Seriously - the best part of this was seeing you adjust the flavours in the dressing. Too many online chefs taste and simply accept. Great recipe. I'm adjusting it to make cold tartlets as finger food for a party.

I tried this tonight and both my husband and I LOVED it! Thank you so much. A new favorite now!

I literally opened my mouth when you took that bite. I love Greek salad 🥗. I’ve never had that dressing. Looks delightful and accomplishable for me. Thank you.

All of your ingredients blend in well to make your greek salad so delicious!

Opa! I love Greek food; etc. Every year, since I was a child, I would go to the Greek Festival here in my state. 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤

Just finished making and in the process of eating this Greek Salad. In a word, "Yum!" Thanks for sharing it with us.

I'm Greek and this salad looks delicious! I'm gonna have it this week

Your excitement about this salad is enough of an inventive to give this recipie a try! Thank you!

I just luv ur cooking channel. This was such a easy to follow recipe. I never seemed to get this salad right. Now it’s perfect! The dressing came out great despite not adding the honey mustard. TY!

My favorite salad!!!! I eat this at least once a week. Can't wait to try your recipe.

I have this everyday in the summer for lunch. I add a little romaine and croutons too. Delicious. Love all you do.

Looks fantastic! I love Greek salads...thanks so much for sharing.

I made this salad and dressing a few weeks ago, with my seared lamb chops...It was the best fresh salad ever...I always buy it from the local carryouts, but never made Greek salad on my own...This was the absolute best salad and dressing I ever made...2 thumbs up and 10 stars for this

Probably one of the most delectable salads! I love the strong flavours.....it's especially nice to make when you have tomatoes and cucumbers fresh from your garden yumm!

Thank you for your videos and cooking channel. I made the Greek Salad recipe and when I ate it I felt better than I have in months. I’ve been going through a tough pregnancy and lost 25 lbs. After eating your recipe, I feel so much better and can enjoy eating again. Please keep making more videos and your recipes are amazing.

I love Greek salad! Thank you for sharing.

Truly one of, if not my favorite salad.

I made this for a family party! Everyone enjoyed it! My husband who normally would not eat something like this said he didn’t know I made it and that he had some and liked it! ❤️💕 thank you for sharing!

Recipes for Greek salad vary so much from village to village let alone the islands . This is a nicely balanced mix of ingredients and I like the dressing. I am a bit of an oregano 🌿 freak so I use extra dried as well as the fresh.

I'm making this today to go with dinner. Will be amazing!!

Just made this, the most unique taste I have ever had, thank you.

Greek salad is so yummy, it's actually my favorite salad, thanks for posting 😋😋

I use heirloom variety cherry tomatoes whole instead of slicing larger variety tomatoes. Love Greek salad! ♥♥♥

I made this salad few times using your recipe. It’s delicious, my friends love it too. Simple and easy. ❤

We Greeks love our oregano!!! Just started watching and when i saw the recipe i thought oh okay let's see if they do it right... And it looks soooo amazing!!!♥️🇬🇷

Creative additions Thankyou!

That is totally fine with me! It taste so much better without the lettuce. The size and texture of the lettuce throws it off. Not Greek, but the food has grown to be one of my favorites!

I love the way you describe this. It's as if I did not even have to make it. I tasted it through you.

I just love the way you treat yourself to taste the food love you KZread videos

Without any mixing Ken's Greek salad dressing is perfect.

My favorite salad!!!! I will do that tomorrow ♡

This looks delicious, very flavourful. Thanks for sharing your recipe. And I love those salad servers!

I love this salad. A little bit of everything all in your mouth. Good job !

I'm from Bulgaria and we eat something called 'Shopska Salad'. It's basically Greek salad but instead of Feta cheese, we use another cheese that is really similar called 'Sirene' and it's delicious. In my family, we don't put garnish and oregano, etc. we just use tomatoes, cucumber, onion, sirene, olive oil, and vinegar. (I prefer mine without onion, but that's just my opinion. Thanks for this awesome video. I think I'm going to make some right now with olives..
