Made this salad for my husband and I and we both loved it! We had it with the Greek Lemon chicken and it was the perfect complement to the main dish! The salad was refreshing and perfect for a summer dinner!!

I made this salad exactly from your recipe and it was amazing and my husband also agreed – loved the dressing and I will be making this many times again. It is a great dish to share and I can see it disappearing every time. Keep up the great work.🤗

Oh god , wonderful flavours ! I loved it! I’ve had some Zaatar and Sumac spices in the sauce.

I made a massive batch of this for a celebration of life and it was a huge hit! Although the recipe (for 3x the batch) made waaaay too much dressing (there was a little pool of dressing in both batches I made and there was about 2-3 cups of dressing leftover; which felt like a bit of a waste of ingredients, considering the cost of groceries these days) If you decide to make 3x the amount, only make 2x the amount of dressing - unless you want leftover dressing for the fridge. Very tasty though! Will definitely make again

Amazing! It was flavorful but light and refreshing as well. I have tried many different greek salad recipes and this has been my favorite by far. Definitely a repeat for these upcoming months.

Really fresh and delicious salad. This is exactly what my body has been craving! Adding some chicken made this a full meal. I will definitely be adding this to my rotation
