Healthy Greek Kale Salad with a tasty homemade Greek dressing you’ll want to put on everything! KALE YEAH!
Hellooooo gorgeous!
As I’m sure you know by now, I am hopelesslykale-obsessed. Since hopping back on the bandwagon this year, I’ve been keeping a freshly chopped bag of massaged kale in my crisper at all times.
It comes in handy when I want a snack (kale chips!!!) or breakfast (smoothie!!!) and, of course, whenever a craving for a mondo kale salad strikes!
I’ve also been riding a serious cucumber kick as I’m sure most of you have noticed from mypast few posts! They’re essentially a love letter to cukes. Can you blame me though? They’re delicious!
Much like my beloved kale, I’ve been eating them non-stop!
Naturally cuke-ifying my kale was the next step. I let some fresh tomatoes, avocado, and feta in on the fun too and went for touchdown status with the most delicious homemade greek dressing to top it off with! You could even add extras like olives, banana peppers, and red onion if you’d like.
Just whatever you do, veg it up!

Finish it off with a pinch of salt and add cucumber, tomato, and avocado.

Of course no Greek Kale Salad is complete without an easy peasy Greek dressing to toss your veggies in! I have a few varieties of Greek dressing depending on the site depending what you’re in the mood for.
First up is aCreamy Greek Yogurt Feta Dressingthat will have Ranch and Bleu Cheese lovers jumping for joy. The combination of yogurt and feta makes it thick, creamy, and totally delicious.
Next I have myClassic Greek Dressingwhich is what I used for this salad today! It combines oil, vinegar, dried herbs, dijon mustard, and a little salt and pepper for good measure. Have fresh herbs handy? You can use those too!
