🧾 Ingredients

Dressing

Red wine vinegar: I used red wine vinegar because it's a classic dressing ingredient. You could also use apple cider vinegar.

Oregano: Is a classic Greek salad ingredient.

Extra virgin olive oil: I used Extra virgin olive oil because it has a better flavor than regular olive oil. Save the olive oil for cooking.

Dijon mustard: Adds a spicy tangy flavor.

Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.

Lemon juice: Adds a sour flavor.

Salt and pepper: Enhances flavors. I like to use sea salt.

Salad

English cucumber: I like an English cucumber because it is less bitter than other varieties.

Kalamata olives: Is traditional in a Greek salad. You could also use green olives or another variety.

Red onion: Adds a pungent flavor.

Greek peperoncini: Adds a spicy flavor. You could leave them off.

Cherry tomatoes: You could also use grape tomatoes or plum tomatoes.

Tofu feta: I used a homemade tofu feta recipe. You could also use store-bought vegan feta cheese.

Romaine lettuce: You could also use iceberg lettuce or another variety.
