Make a Greek Salad for Less with Voucher Codes from Sainsburys, Waitrose and Ocado

Now that the sun is out (just about), it can get you thinking about summer cuisine and its various accompaniments. Yes, our very favourite summer side dish is none other than that retro classic, Greek Salad. If you’ve be eyeing up the feta cheese in recent supermarket sojourns, follow our simple instructions on how to make the perfect one…

What Ingredients will You Need for a Greek Salad?

The basic salad ingredients are as follows:

½ cucumber, diced into medium chunks   

Small Romaine Lettuce 

Green Pepper                                                                                        

3-4 large vine tomatoes, cut into sections

200g Feta cheese, diced or crumbled

335g jar of Greek Kalamata olives, drained and rinsed

½ red onion, thinly sliced

Greek Salad Dressing Ingredients

1 tablespoon Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Red Wine Vinegar

Lemon Juice

Dijon Mustard

Honey

Garlic

Salt and pepper

How to prepare the Perfect Greek Salad

Combine all the salad ingredients together in a large bowl. To create the dressing just mix the red wine vinegar, mustard, garlic, honey, lemon juice, olive oil and seasoning together in a small bowl to create a tasty Greek salad dressing. Drizzle the salad dressing over the top of the salad ingredients and then lightly toss and serve – it really is that easy!

This works well as side dish for so many summer dishes – chargrilled steak, shish kebabs, barbecued chicken and baked fish to name but a few. However, it is also fabulous as a light lunch or supper on its own. To give it an even more continental feel, why not pick out the perfect wine to accompany it? Using our Cellar by Waitrose voucher codes, you can find lots of interesting wines at great prices, and if you’ve yet to order with them, we’ve got this promotional code that gets you £12 off your first case as well as free delivery – the perfect opportunity to stock up. In fact, they have a fantastic selection of Greek wines if you want to go for extra authenticity.
