Let’s talk about the ingredients in our salsa!

We combine some awesome fresh ingredients for this salsa. For the cucumbers, you can use regular or English cucumbers. You will want to remove the seeds, especially if you use regular cucumbers as their seeds are quite a bit larger. Vine ripened and Roma tomatoes are both great options for this salsa. After I remove the insides of the tomatoes, I save them to use in salsas or soups. We then add crumbled feta cheese, diced red onion, sliced Kalamata olives, and fresh chopped parsley. If you’d like to take some of the bite out of your red onions, you can place your diced onion in enough water to cover them. Then let them set for about 5 minutes and drain the water before adding them to your salsa. I love using Kalamata olives for this salsa, but you can use black olives if you’d prefer.

How do I make the vinaigrette for this Greek salsa?

The vinaigrette for our salsa is quick and easy to make, but it is amazingly delicious. For basic vinaigrettes, the standard is 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. You’ll often see different ratios though. For this dish, I wanted a little more kick of acidity, so I used 2 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. To our oil and vinegar, we add dried oregano, salt, and pepper. If you’d like, you can use fresh chopped oregano. If so, you’ll want to use 1 tablespoon of fresh in place of the 1 teaspoon of dried. After you add your vinaigrette to the salad, you can serve it immediately. If you have time, the flavors will melt together better if you refrigerate the salsa for a couple hours or even overnight before serving. I recommend you give your salsa a taste and add more salt and pepper if you’d like.

How can I serve this Greek salsa?

You have some awesome low carb options for serving this Greek salsa. This salsa can be served using raw vegetables as dippers. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, mushrooms, or sliced bell peppers or radishes. You can also use cheese whisps, keto crackers or chips, or pork rinds for dippers. Another option is to use sliced cheese as dippers. Don’t ask me how I know this is an amazing option.😊This salsa also makes a great topping for burgers, keto sandwiches, and lettuce wraps. You can also serve it with any cooked or grilled meats or vegetables. It also pairs nicely as an addition to egg casseroles, frittatas, keto quiche dishes, omelets, and scrambled eggs. You can also serve this dish as a side salad for your favorite keto mains. If you’d like, you could even top some chaffles with this salsa to serve as a bruschetta appetizer option.
