My husband isn’t a huge fan of veggies. So when I make a salad, it has to be pretty special for him to want more. After he finished the first serving, he had seconds.

Greek Olive and Feta Salad Ingredients

This salad is packed with nutrition. It has spinach, kalamata olives, green olives, tomatoes, peppers, feta, bacon bits, and Greek salad dressing.

You can leave out the bacon, but it adds a lot of flavor. So I highly recommend leaving it in.

This salad is so easy to make you don’t have to have a minute of cooking experience. In fact, it’s all about dumping everything into a bowl, tossing it, and serving it.

However, there’s actually just a tad more to it than that. Before I toss everything into a bowl, I do a little bit of measuring … and chopping. I like the spinach chopped small enough to put into my mouth without splashing dressing all over my face.

So first, chop the spinach and put it in the bowl.

Then, add the olives.

Add the peppers.

Next, add the little tomatoes. You can cut them if you want. I do that sometimes, but this time, I didn’t since they’re so small.

Then pour in the Greek dressing and toss the ingredients to coat them.

Sprinkle in the bacon bits.

Finally, toss in the feta.

This time, I served it as a side with pan-seared salmon. It was a delicious, nutritious, complete meal. I used to always have potatoes, rice, or pasta, but I’m not doing that as often anymore. And I don’t miss the starch at all.
