Greek Salad with Avocado

Posted 2014-05-23 by Kate Mate ⇒ follow

Went to a Greek restaurant yesterday and had spanikopita (spinach and feta pie) it wasn't very nice but the salad was. I love it so much I was craving it today. I don't however like the olives or cucumber, so I've made a tasty Greek salad with avocados.

My Greek salad with a twist

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
For the salad
Soft marinated feta cheese about 320 g
1 packet of washed rocket
2 tomatoes
1 avocado diced
1 red onion thinly sliced

For the dressing
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic
1 teaspoon of dried or fresh oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

Salad dressing ready to go

Method
The salad I had yesterday was rocket and thinly sliced iceberg lettuce but I prefer just the rocket as the iceberg lettuce at the bottom had gone soft from the dressing.

Wash rocket and place in a bowl

Thinly slice red onion

Cut tomatoes into wedges

Dice avocado and drain the cheese and break up into small pieces

Prepare the dressing by mixing together all dressing ingredients.

To serve the salad there are 2 ways

First is to add all ingredients to the rocket and mix through with the dressing to combine all flavours

Or for nice presentation layer salad start with a bowl of rocket and dress with about a teaspoon of dressing, place some tomatoes on top then some onion, then avocado and then finally break up cheese on top.

Pour over more dressing and you're done.
