This refreshing Keto Greek Salad is a healthy, low-carb version of a classic Greek salad, but tastes just as delicious as the traditional recipe! It’s packed with crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, salty olives, tangy feta cheese, and a zesty dressing that’s vibrant and flavorful. This is the perfect side dish for a potluck or picnic, but it can also be eaten as an entree for a light lunch or dinner!

When I make salads, I tend to add a large variety of ingredients to them because plain green salads are a little boring to me. Also, if you’re making a salad as a meal – you need to bulk it up with things that are healthy but will still keep you full!

This keto Greek salad with feta is one of my typical lunches or light dinners. It also works really well as a side in a bigger spread, but is hearty enough to keep you full for a long time!

I absolutely love the different textures and flavors in this fresh salad. Every bite has a little something different, which keeps it interesting! 

For a dressing, I just make a simple keto Greek salad dressing with olive oil, oregano, red wine vinegar, and salt. This low carb salad itself is so flavorful and fresh that you don’t need much in terms of a dressing. 

This easy salad serves 2 people as a main dish or 4 as a keto side dish, but you can always double or triple the recipe if you’re feeding a crowd! The best part? It tastes just like an authentic Greek salad, but still works for a low carb diet!

💭 Expert Tips

• Use English cucumbers or Lebanese cucumbers. Compared to regular cucumbers, they’re sweeter, more tender, and you don’t have to peel them!
• Don’t use regular tomatoes. They will make your Greek keto salad watery. Instead, stick to cherry or grape tomatoes.
• Use good quality, fresh veggies. The veggies are the star of this dish, so you want to make sure you use the freshest vegetables possible. You’ll also want to make sure to chop the veggies into small pieces that are all the same size for easy eating.
• Salad dressing can be prepared ahead of time and stored in an airtight container or a mason jar in a cool dry place or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Make sure to whisk before serving to combine all ingredients.
• Reduce the tomatoes and onions for even less carbs. Carbs can quickly add up when adding tomatoes and red onion, if you’re following a strict keto diet you can reduce the amounts of these ingredients to suit your macros. You can replace the tomatoes with romaine lettuce in this Greek veggie salad as well if you’d like.
• For the best flavor, chill before serving. To enhance the flavors of this keto chopped salad, prepare and mix the salad ingredients, chill, covered in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

📖 Variations

• Different Cheese: If you don’t have feta, you can use goat cheese or any other cheese you like in this keto vegetarian Greek salad. You can even substitute feta cheese for vegan friendly cheese to make this delicious salad vegan friendly (just watch for the carbs on the vegan cheese as some vegan cheese can be higher in carbs).
• Add More Protein: Try making this keto Greek salad with chicken breast, grilled steak, or any lean meat for a higher protein option. You can also add more feta for protein, if you want to keep this salad vegetarian friendly.
• Dressing Variations: You can add fresh herbs to this low-carb salad dressing like fresh oregano or basil. For even more flavor and spice, try adding fresh garlic or garlic powder, black pepper, or crushed red pepper. If you don’t have red wine vinegar, you can also use white wine vinegar, lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar.
