So what makes it different from regular Greek Salad?

An authentic Greek salad (Horiatiki Salata) will always include tomato, sliced cucumber, green capsicum pepper, red onion, olives and with a big chunk of feta cheese sitting in top and not crumbled through.

Everything is then seasoned and dressed with a good quality olive oil, a dash of red  wine vinegar and dried Greek oregano. 

In our keto version we have diced everything up in this salad so that you are guaranteed  a morsel of traditional Greek delicious, flavour with each forkful.

Let’s Talk Ingredients - Greek deli time!

To get the most out of this salad then it is a good idea to take a trip to your closest Greek deli and invest in a good quality olive oil, a true Greek feta, tangy Kalamata olives and the oregano you find in bags with the stems attached. What can you serve it with?

  • Tomatoes - We want to be able to imitate the sun kissed flavour you find in Mediterranean tomatoes. So you are looking for aromatic tomato varieties such as truss, ox heart or other heirloom varieties.
  • Cucumber - a seedless crisp cucumber such as Lebanese, Persian or Kirby are ideal.

Want a different look? Change it up!
- Try cherry tomatoes or swap them for yellow or Black Russian tomatoes. 
- Swap the green capsicum / pepper for sweeter orange or red peppers instead.
- Use baby cukes / qukes instead for more crunch and flavour.

 What Can I Serve It With?  🍽

ANYTHING and everything this is such a versatile salad that can be served with grilled meats, poultry and seafood. Even with, roasts, stews, pasta, pies or anything else that takes your fancy. 

Try it with lamb roast, steak kebabs or baked cod. In a hurry, then grab a charcoal chicken on your way home instead.

People Also Ask

Are Kalamata Olives and Feta Cheese Keto-Friendly?

Yes, both are are keto-friendly.

  • Kalamata olives are low in carbs and high in healthy fats and make a great addition to a keto Greek salad.
  • Feta is a cheese that is lower in carbohydrates and higher in fat, making it suitable for a ketogenic diet.

Can I Make it Ahead?

This is a great salad to make an hour or two in advance and keep chilled in the fridge until you are ready to serve. This will allow the flavours to meld together for a tastier salad. 

Can I Make a Large Batch for Meal Prep?

Yes, you can prepare a larger batch of keto Greek salad for meal prep. However, store the dressing separately and add it just before serving to maintain the salad's crispness.
