    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 :)

    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.

    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'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..
