Ingredients

Salad:

Add any other traditional ingredients you'd like, such as olives and onions, and adjust nutritional information accordingly.

Dressing:

Directions

Chop the tomato and the cucumber, and add them to lettuce.

The dressing starts with 1/4 a cup of lemon juice. Then I add 1/2 cup of avocado oil. You can use olive oil for this diabetic greek salad dressing. But, I like using avocado oil as it’s one of my favorite products and I usually have it on hand. Then I added some Italian seasoning, granulated onion (you can use fresh) and garlic powder (you can use fresh). The last ingredient is feta cheese! It helps the dressing gain a little creaminess without the use of mayo. I add all the ingredients to a small mason jar and shake it up. Let it sit for maybe 5 minutes before you drizzled it on your greek salad. Enjoy!
