Greek salad (Horiatiki) has a lot of guises based on the ingredients you use in the recipe. So, no, my recipe is not one of the authentic Greek salads, but it is so addictively delicious. And is the perfect quick salad for busy weekdays, easy lunches, or effortless entertaining!

How To Make Greek Salad With Avocado

Step 1: Soak the onion in vinegar.

Step 2: Chop all the veggies in your cucumber and tomato Greek salad.

Step 3: In a large but shallow bowl, place the tomatoes, onions (without the vinegar in which they were soaked), and cucumbers.

Step 4: Save 1-2 tablespoons of the dressing and pour the rest on top of the salad. Toss well.

Step 5: Coat the chopped avocado with the saved dressing.

Step 6: Top with avocado, feta cheese, and olives.

Step 7: Garnish with fresh mint leaves and dried oregano.

Final step: Serve and savor!

How To Make Greek Salad Dressing

I use a very basic dressing and make it at home because it lets me control the amount of salt, oil, and sugar that goes in (so much better than the bottled, sodium- and preservative-laden vinaigrette that have been sitting on the shelf for God knows how long)!

  • In a small bowl, mix a splash of lemon juice, vinegar, good-quality oil, a pinch of dried oregano, and a bit of honey.
  • Whisk in a little bit of honey to balance out the flavors.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Taste and adjust.

Pro Tips

  • Traditional Greek salad uses raw onions, but marinating them in red wine vinegar for an hour or more adds so much drama to the salad. Plus, it gets rid of the raw pungency onions have.

I like to keep a small bowl of these mildly pickled, pink-hued onions in my fridge, and whenever the mood strikes, I add them to a recipe. Don’t have the time to soak? Use the onion as-is.

  • For the Greek salad dressing, honey is optional. I prefer a touch of sweetness to balance out the flavors.
  • You can serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
  • Add the avocado to the other ingredients right at the end so it doesn't get mushy.
  • I like to toss the avocado with a little bit of the dressing before adding it to the salad bowl.
  • This salad will stay well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Double the quantity of the salad dressing and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

How To Serve Avocado Greek Salad

This vibrant Greek salad is a total crowd-pleaser and a must for effortless entertaining.

It shines beautifully on a mezze-style table with dishes like homemade pita bread, easy air-fryer falafels, and a generous bowl of classic hummus. Add a side of roasted carrots, marinated tomatoes, or Korean pickled radish for extra color and texture.

This easy avocado Greek salad is fresh, flavorful, and comes together so easily—perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends or a sunny garden get-together.
