Simplicity tastes so good. With Violife brand vegan feta cheese, we can have it all. I served this salad with garlic toast made with Miyoko vegan butter, fresh garlic and parsley. Life is good. Yum.

Notes

NO RULES: While the veggies above are considered the traditional way to make a Greek salad, there are a few other veggies you can commonly find included: bell pepper slices, pepperoncini, and radishes to name a few!

FRESH VS. BOTTLED LEMON JUICE: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is always best, especially in a freshly made salad dressing. Anytime that lemon flavor is meant to shine in a recipe, you will need to use fresh juice.

CUCUMBERS: The variety of cucumber you use depends only on your preference! Any cucumbers can be used, so whether you prefer English cucumbers, mini cucumbers, or regular cucumbers, they will all work here.

STORAGE: Greek salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
