Greek Bread Salad with Spinach and Tomatoes

Typically consisting of tomatoes, cucumber, onions, feta and olives, this classic salad features a simple vinaigrette (or just plain olive oil) mixed with oregano. The original dish has no lettuce at all, but you can transform this salad into your own version at home. We love to turn Greek salad into sandwiches, use it as a pizza topping or transform it into an inspired version of a revamped wedge salad. Here, our best Greek salad recipes.

Of his delicious and crowd-pleasing Greek salad, Athens, Georgia, chef Hugh Acheson says, "It feeds four people like champions, or six like semifinalists."

Chopped Greek Quinoa Salad

An incredible mix of fresh vegetables and red quinoa come together in this Greek-inspired chopped salad. Red quinoa adds protein and texture, so this salad makes a perfect vegetarian lunch. Add grilled salmon, shrimp or chicken for a perfect light, summery supper, and load up on veggies. All of the flavors together get better the longer they sit, and the salad dressing can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container up to 5 days.

Greek Salad Sandwiches

This is Greek salad perfection: Michael Psilakis tops warm bread with garlicky red-pepper tzatziki (cucumber-yogurt spread) and a piquant combo of cucumbers, olives, peperoncini, tomatoes, radishes, greens and feta. It's stellar with homemade ladopsomo bread and yogurt, but equally good with store-bought.

Pepperoni--sliced thin, sauteed until crisp--is a tempting addition to this traditional combination of greens, vegetables, and feta cheese and makes the salad substantial enough for dinner.

Packed with vitamin A, kale is tasty when it's blanched and tossed with a lemon-olive oil dressing and olives, good sources of healthy fat.

Gavin Kaysen's Greek salad has most of the usual ingredients, like tomatoes and olives--but, in an inspired twist, he turns the traditional feta cheese into a creamy, light feta mousse. Kaysen invented the dish to impress his coach when he was training for the prestigious international Bocuse d'Or cooking competition, and he says, "It blew him away."

This excellent version of a classic Greek salad, served at Ntounias restaurant in Crete, calls for the large, store-bought toasts called rusks. If you can't find them, use extra-large plain croutons or torn and toasted pieces of sourdough.
