Today we’re going to take Greek salad to the next level with the addition of kale. It’s going to add so much texture and nutritional benefits to the salad. The best thing about adding kale to salads is that it doesn’t get soft and soggy in the fridge like Romain lettuce. It will stay crispy in the fridge for up to 2 days.
What you Will Need to Make Greek Salad
To make this salad you will need a few basic Greek-inspired ingredients. Here’s what you will need:

How to Make Lemon Olive Oil Dressing
To go with this delicious salad, I made my favorite lemon olive oil dressing. It’s completely healthy and elevates this salad. To make this healthy light dressing you will need:
extra virgin olive oil
fresh lemon juice
garlic
dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Greek Kale Salad
Making this salad is very easy, just chop up everything and toss it all together with your lemon olive oil dressing which is just a combination of 2 part olive and 1 part fresh lemon juice (you can also use vinegar or lime juice). You can also add chickpeas, olives, or bell peppers to the mix.
I suggest marinating the salad in the dressing and letting it soak for at least 30 minutes, this will allow the kale to soften slightly and lessen some of its bitterness.
