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 :)
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 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.
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.
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!
I am from Azerbaijan and WE love it. We call it shepherd’s salat. Only herbs differ because we use what is national and traditional to our tastes. I love the freshness of this. Thank you for this mouthwatering video😍
I've recently uploaded a new video related to healthy lifestyle. Please do watch it and share with your friends and family th-cam.com/video/P4lcTNfV1JY/w-d-xo.html
I am greek and I LOVE greek salad. We have it almost everyday with my family. But I really wanted a new recipe this time... And yours is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. The tastier I've ever tried !!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
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..
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 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
I'm a 19 yo beginner chef and I am planning on taking culinary classes at my community college next semester. You are a true inspiration to me and I love how you go into detail about specific things, I learn something with every video you post! I just wanted to say thank you for your amazing content (along with all your cute jokes xD) and I can't wait to see more from you! I was wondering if we could possibly see more soup recipes from you, I'm a big fan of soup. Maybe like a nice calming summer soup? Best regards from Texas!
Thank you for the recipe. I can't wait to send this video to my friends who don't believe me when I tell them that a true Greek Salad contains no lettuce! True Greek Salads are hard to find in restaurants in the USA. Can't wait to make this!
I agree. I'm originally from the Greek mountains and we never make our salads with lettuce. Only tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, oil salt and oregano, feta cheese and olives are optional for us. Here in the USA they make them so different
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!
@@PreppyKitchen nice man , but I don't like to mix acids like lemons or lime with cheese or milk products , I make it with feta cheese , black olives , onions tomatoes and cucumbers and some olive oil , I like to keep it simple
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!
I tried it and I just love the crunchiness of those fresh vegetables.. If you are dieting, that would be the perfect salad to have , because it is appetizing and it is filling.
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 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!
Hi Asma,th-cam.com/video/VuQQ_Pfk7H0/w-d-xo.html another salad recipe showing different types of green salads pls do watch and support to grow, also subscribe
I bought salads from Panera Bread yesterday, got home and they were HORRABBLE, the greens were totally old and wilted I threw it in the garbage. Sooooooooo I found the recipe and made my own today and it came out so delicious, thank you for sharing, I love your cooking video's. 🥰
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!!!♥️🇬🇷
I always make my dressing first and then add the sliced onions. I find letting them sit in the dressing will take some of the strong bite out of them so that they don’t overpower the rest of the ingredients. In the time it takes me to chop everything, the onions have mellowed. I also agree with another comment about adding the feta cheese last so that the flavour stays unique and fresh. Thanks for sharing this! I’m going to try adding the mustard, something I’ve never tried before.
Made this at work for the staff and clients and it came out pretty good. Very basic in flavor and easy to make. I do have to say though that it will get mushy as long as you have sliced tomatoes in it (unless you remove the pulp).
I've always done it like chopped cucumbers, tomatoes and onions, with Feta cheese and some capers, seasoned with salt, pepper and olive oil, but now I'm going to enhance my recipe, thanks.
Greek here and living in Greece. I have to say I have never seen anybody here add vinegar and lemon juice to their χωριάτικη σαλάτα (Greek salad). Certainly no honey/mustard!! Salt, oregano and olive oil straight into the bowl and mix. That's all. But of course everyone has their personal taste.
I made this salad tonight and it turned out delicious!! My partner is now a big fun of salads and loved it, she even repeated. Thank you so much for sharing your dishes and explaining so easy to understand. Not the first recipe I have made with your videos!
l have been eating this salad, modified a few ingridients but followed most of your steps...l love it!!! clean and simple!! thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
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!
John, can you do a video all about baking mistakes and hacks? For example, my cakes tend to come out super dense and don’t have those beautiful little airy bubbles inside. Any ideas why? A video about how to help cakes turn out as nice as possible might help a lot of people! :)
Yay! I love watching your channel buts hard to find recipes that are desserts. My husband is diabetic and I’m on Keto. This Greek salad will be on my table tonight. Thanks!
My Mother (1st generation American from Italian family) made the best salad similar to this with cucumber, tomato, sweet onion, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. She also served it with stale bread cubes to soak up the dressing. I guess Italians and Greeks are salad cousins.
I made this and I found it soo delicious and my whole family loved it 😁😁😁Red onion complements the dish without giving an overpowering onion taste and the feta cheese tops off the vegetables. The dressing is on point and really does provide an enticing taste. Also, I'm 12! Which just shows how easy to make it is, definitely recommend this quick, easy, inexpensive and healthy dish to anyone who's struggling what to make for tea. 11/10
I make a Greek salad about every day except I only use cucumbers, tomatoes, basil, and olives, along with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I’m not a fan of any of the other ingredients, but people look at me crazy when I tell them that an original Greek salad doesn’t actually have lettuce in it!!!!
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.
If you have not tried this, I encourage you.. it's just fantastic. As the guy says, you can customise it: I love onion, so I put heaps, and I also love a tangy flavor so I put heaps of vinegar. This salad, plus some good crusty bread = an excellent meal. Also, you can use dried versions of all those herbs if you don't have them OR omit them all entirely and just use a bit of black pepper (NO salt! The cheese and olives are saturated in salt) it still tastes fantastic
Writing from Athens, Greece. Greek salad DOES NOT include lemon in ANY way... Jesus!!! What DOES include actually is VINEGAR! Just ANY vinegat will do the job, its up to your taste. Also must have basil and mint. All herbs can be in any form, dried or fresh. My way is a mix of oregano, thyme, basil, mint and throubi in 2 separate seasoning mils. Salt goes in after the herbs. I add them after tossing the items and JUST before adding extra virgin olive oil and vinegar. Then we add a whole brick of feta cheese, sprinking it with olive oil anb the herbs mixture. This is the genuine greek salad guys.
I made it right along with you..I love love Greek food. Hope I didn't make it into something else by adding minced garlic. I just have to have minced garlic in most of all my salad dressing's. So yummy! Thx for sharing your recipe!
I came across you only this week and have already tried two of your recipes, this one being the first. It was absolutely delicious!!!!!!. I love it. I 'm so happy to know you and your videos and I am sure they'll change my eating life forever. Love you John x
I just made these tonight! My fiancé really loved it.The store we went to didn’t haven’t any black olives so I used green instead. Excellent video! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Omg that made so hungry for a Greek salad ! Love this recipe Very authentic you need that lemon and salt just the perfect amount I was taught by a wonderful Greek cook ! And , Personally after eating English cukes ...that is all I love to use. Bravo on how you showed how to use the fresh oregano it exactly how to do it .. Remembering the smell in Greece of Gardens thought I was in Heaven ! The first time I went to Rhodes I had a salad there and found out all over Greece you just weren't going find lettuce lol .I adjusted and had no choice was there on my honeymoon getting a very quick lesson in Greek Cuisine. One month in Greece came home 10 pounds heavier lol .Still one of my favorite foods ever ! Lol Did guess you were Greek by the way ha was convinced you were from first video lol And, Now I know why you made the best Spinach pie recipe with your Mom also who I think is great ! And , would Love to see more of with you . Love the dressing you made perfect but never tried it with mustard will have to give that a go. Thanks again for another great video your channel is absolutely the best ! I am always learning from you and your quite funny also !

@@janetholmes6659 Good morning! In Greek salad, anyone can put whatever he wants. The dressing in restaurant, normally is optional.

Hope i helped :)
@@ΜαριάνναΔρούζα Yes you did. Thanks. Does it matter what brand of olive oil to use?
@@janetholmes6659 Nah. But its better taste to choose virgin olive oil. But not too much. Because it has a full flavour.
how do you spell Greek salad in Greek? I want to look it up and maybe find some authentic recipes
Greek salad is truly fantastic. Yes bread and salad seems like real old fashioned neighbourhood Greeks, cheers🎉
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.
Thanks

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 TH-cam channel and I agree with you. I actually add the dressing last! It tastes better that way for me
Wonderful TiP ❤️😅👀👌
Xy

I do this too. I also just hate seeing nice chunks of feta get mixed up and semi-liquify inside the dressing
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.
My thoughts too lol
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!
I absolutely love Greek salad , this dish looks so delicious 🤤
IT'S YOUR SALAD....... I love it the way you say it. Coming to think of it, after all, it is my frickin' salad!!!!

The kalamati olives are the kicker. They make this salad delicious
I use heirloom variety cherry tomatoes whole instead of slicing larger variety tomatoes.
Love Greek salad! ♥♥♥
2:00 I love the brine of the Kalamati olives to mix with olive oil and make a dressing.😋

Same! I can eat it everyday but I put finely chopped romain and anchovies in it with no dressing

Hey ! I followed your recipe and now it has become my all time favorite!! I have been eating greek salad twice a week! Thank you!!!
Excellent tip about avoiding pits by cutting the olives, thanks!
Today, I made this salad again, and it is better than the first time I made it. My family loves it.
Thank you!!
When I went to Greece, they would always put a block of feta cheese on top of the salad instead of crumbling 😍 both delicious!
I tried this recipe recently and came out very well…my friends loved it and requested me to prepare again.
Love the addition of onion to the sauce. Can’t wait to try it that way.
Who woulda thought of honey mustard in the dressing? I've got to try this. Thanks. Made it tonight. Its amazing!

Healthy? There's 1/4 cup of oil and a bunch of cheese in there bro. 🤣
Still delicious tho
You and Jamie Oliver are my all time favorite culinary artists!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️
Wow that salad looked absolutely scrumptious... nice to know fun facts about your childhood. And your roots

I’m from Greece toooo 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️
Looks fantastic! I love Greek salads...thanks so much for sharing.
That mix dressing in a jar, and tasting it before adding technique is smart
Great recipe with excellent tips. I always cut Greek olives in half too.
Absolutely love Greek/Mediterranean foods 😍

I love the way you describe this. It's as if I did not even have to make it. I tasted it through you.
Making this tonight, I have marinated kalamata olives I made in culinary school with preserved lemons 👏👏👏
Writing from Athens, Greece.
Greek salad DOES NOT include lemon in ANY way...
Jesus!!!
What DOES include actually is VINEGAR!
Just ANY vinegat will do the job, its up to your taste.
Also must have basil and mint.
All herbs can be in any form, dried or fresh.
My way is a mix of oregano, thyme, basil, mint and throubi in 2 separate seasoning mils.
Salt goes in after the herbs.
I add them after tossing the items and JUST before adding extra virgin olive oil and vinegar.
Then we add a whole brick of feta cheese, sprinking it with olive oil anb the herbs mixture.
This is the genuine greek salad guys.
My mom just made this for dinner yesterday... I’m obsessed!
Yum 😋 Greek salad 🥗 is truly one of the best salads. Love how you just grabbed the olives with your hands. Ha!
I tried this recipe today. It's sooooo good. 😋 must try.
