Time 35m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small red onion, cut into a 1/2-inch dice (1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (from 1 small clove)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds cocktail tomatoes, quartered (5 cups)
1 pound mini cucumbers (6 to 7), cut into 1-inch pieces (4 cups)
3 orange or yellow bell peppers, or a combination, stems, ribs, and seeds removed, cut into 1-inch pieces (5 cups)
6 ounces feta, crumbled (1 cup)
3 ounces peperoncini (3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Soak onion in cold water 10 minutes; drain. Sprinkle garlic with a pinch of salt; mash into a paste with the side of a knife. Transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, sugar, oregano, mint, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in oil.

This is the worst Greek salad I've ever had! The vegetables were wilted, the feta cheese was rubbery, and the dressing was watery. Don't waste your time with this recipe.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. The dressing didn't have much flavor and the vegetables were not very fresh. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the dressing was well-made.

I've tried many Greek salad recipes before, but this one is by far the best! The dressing is perfectly tangy and the vegetables are so fresh. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

This salad is the perfect summer side dish! It's light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. I especially love the addition of the mint.

Just made this salad for dinner and it was delicious! I used a red onion instead of a white onion and it added a nice pop of color. Highly recommend!

This Greek Taverna Salad was an absolute delight! I've always loved Greek salads, but this one takes it to a whole new level. The combination of fresh, crisp vegetables, tangy feta cheese, and flavorful dressing is simply irresistible.
