Serving Tips
Here are a few additional pieces of information about vegan Greek salad:
- If you want to add some protein to your salad, consider adding some cooked chickpeas or white beans.
- To make your salad more filling, you can serve it with some crusty bread or pita.
- Traditional Greek salad is typically made with feta cheese, but you can use a vegan alternative such as tofu feta or a plant-based cheese alternative.
- When making the dressing, be sure to whisk it well to ensure that the ingredients are evenly combined.
- You can adjust the ratio of ingredients to suit your preferences. For example, if you really love tomatoes, you can add more than the recipe calls for.
- You could serve on a bed of lettuce or greens or serve in a lettuce bowl or make a wrap.
- If you want to make your salad more visually appealing, you can arrange the ingredients in a specific way on the plate. For example, you could place the sliced onions in a ring around the edge of the plate, or arrange the olives in a spiral pattern in the center.
