Keto Greek Salad with Feta and Mixed Greens
This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Please read my disclosure.This refreshing Keto Greek Salad 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 salad. Every bite has a little something different, which keeps it interesting!

For a dressing, I just make a super simple vinaigrette with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. The salad itself is so flavorful and fresh that you don’t need much in terms of a dressing.
This is a great dish to bring to a potluck or picnic – I used it during the holidays and it was a hit!

Tools and Equipment You’ll Need for This Recipe

How to Make Keto Greek Salad – Step by Step

What makes this Keto Greek Salad healthy?

Top Tips for Making Keto Greek Salad
- Thoroughly wash and dry the greens.
- Use a blend of leafy greens. I like a mix of spinach, baby kale, arugula, and baby lettuce. If you don’t have a blend of greens you can use any salad greens you like or have on hand!
- Peel cucumbers prior to adding them to the salad. If you are using English cucumbers you won’t have to peel them.
- Use red onion for added color.
- Seed the tomatoes before adding them to the salad (otherwise your salad will get watery)
- Slice the red peppers into thin slices.
- If you don’t have feta, you can use goat cheese or any other cheese you like.
