Greek Salad with Marinated Onions – The ever popular Greek Salad gets a small makeover and it is scrumptious ! Definitely a salad recipe you need to add to your collection, especially when you have a BBQ !

Greek Salad is very popular with my family – especially the Feta cheese ! To change things up a little, I made this Greek Salad with Marinated Onions .

Absolutely delicious ! And you would not believe the huge difference the marinated Onions make to this salad. The typical Greek Salad I usually make, contains a lot of lettuce, which I love, but my family not so much.

They were very surprised by this new version and immediately fell in love with the Greek Salad with Marinated Onions. It was a winner the first time and the second time, and I plan on making it again this weekend.

The use of different Tomatoes may not seem like a big thing, but it does have a lovely impact, not only visually but also in taste, on this Salad.

If you want to serve the Salad for lunch, only a wholewheat dinner roll is necessary, as this Greek Salad with Marinated Onions are quite filling.

Having a BBQ ? Only one other Salad is needed to complete your BBQ. In South-Africa we enjoy our braai (BBQ) all year long, and it usually consists of Boerewors (a SA sausage), Lamb Chops, Steak and more often than not, Chicken and/or other kebabs as well.

Then, to add to that, we have all the sides, salads, pap and relish (pap is a porridge made with maize meal), dinner rolls – the whole works.

This is not only for special days, it is our way of living in South-Africa – maybe not all that healthy all the time, but once a week is fine by me, and there are loads of ways to make all the dishes, or most anyway, healthy.
