This easy vegan greek salad is inspired from a local health food store I go to frequently back in New York. Their salads, in fact their whole deli section, is to die for. I thought I would bring a little bit of home with me while traveling by eating the foods I enjoyed most from the store while we’re traveling.
Then the vegan greek salad was born. It’s super easy to throw together for lunch. The extra perks are that this salad is healthy and freaking delicious!

Vegan Greek Salad Ingredients
This doesn’t take many ingredients and as a salad it’s always easy to switch it up or leave out something if you ever need. I definitely love the ease with which salads come together. Anyways here are the ingredients I used:
- Romaine Lettuce
- Mixed Greens
- Kalamata Olives or Black Olives
- Red Onion
- Pepperoncinis
- Avocado
A note on your ingredients: Make sure you are reading labels on some of your ingredients. I prefer organic where I can find it. Jeff’s Garden is the brand I usually go to for the pepperoncinis. I’ve seen other brands with yellow dyes in their peppers. Why is that necessary??
Also a good brand of dairy free feta cheese is key too. I prefer the Violife Feta Cheese.
Also you can add beans or chicken for protein or you can leave it out. Sometimes I don’t put anything in. For this instance, I used black beans.
Vegan Greek Salad Dressing
I always make my own salad dressing. I never buy them premade. My mom has always done it that way, so I just make my own as well. It takes five minutes and is going to be fresher than store bought with preservatives.
My dressings also change depending on what I have and what I feel like doing. This is a simple dressing I use for most of my salads.
- Olive Oil
- Vinegar (white or red wine)
- Garlic (or garlic powder)
- Dijon Mustard
- Salt
- Pepper
When I’m lazy, the garlic clove turns into garlic powder. If you want a creamy dressing, you could always add some vegenaise.
Vegan Greek Salad Directions
I usually throw the lettuce in first and chuck in the rest of the toppings. I do like to put the dressing on the salad and toss it all together, but if you want your salad to last longer, I recommend putting dressing on your bowl of salad after you serve it.
Bon Apetit!
