This is a classic Greek salad that is perfect for a special dinner party or luncheon. The recipe creates a fresh, easy-to-make wedge salad that is drizzled with flavorful homemade Greek dressing over cucumbers, chickpeas, onions, olives, and tomatoes.
It’s easy to make before a party if you have a large group and only takes 20 minutes if you are short on time.
This Greek Wedge Salad recipe will help you create a delicious dish that your family will enjoy.
Personally, I love the flavors in Greek foods so when trying to create a simple wedge salad recipe I wanted to play off the classic Greek salad with a spin.
How to make the dressing
- flatleaf parsley chopped fresh
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup olive oil
In a glass jar add parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and olive oil. Seal with a tight-fitting lid and shake for a minute until all ingredients are blended well.
How to prepare the salad ahead of time
- Wash your romaine lettuce. Slice in half horizontally. Wrap in damp paper towels and place in a ziplock bag. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Mix your dressing and keep in the refrigerator.
- Rinsed and drain chickpeas
- Chop cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and olives.
- Place chickpeas and chopped veggies in an air tight container, keep refrigerated.
- When it’s time to serve toss chopped veggies in salad dressing. Scoop over salad wedge and drissle just a touch more dressing if desired. Serve.
Variations
For something different, you can chop the romane lettuce into small pieces and toss it with the other vegetables. This would be a good way to serve a large crowd.
