CanadianCook on 2026-03-22 12:21:11 (5 stars): Ive used a lot of your recipes and never had a fail, so when a friend posted that they had tried this Greek salad recipe, I had to give it a go too. Its tangy, garlicky, so flavourful and simply delicious. Ive always used a lemon type dressing before, but it waters down in flavour quickly when you add it to the vegetables. Your recipe is simply delicious, with any combination of vegetables, and the flavour stays strong. Wonderful recipe, thank you!

Carmen on 2025-11-28 21:27:02 (5 stars): Made as is but subbed a yellow pepper for the green and didn’t add mint. It’s a keeper!! So delicious
California Cook on 2025-11-01 23:12:35 (5 stars): I was looking for a way to use up the overabundance of cucumbers and cherry tomatoes in my garden and this was perfect. It is delicious. left the bell peppers and mint out because I don't really care for them.
