Easy Side Salad for Parties or Barbecues

Since barbecue season is now in full swing, we decided to share some easy side dish recipes to accompany all of your outdoor meals this summer. Today I’ve brought a fresh and easy Cucumber Greek Salad Recipe. It’s healthy and delicious on all of those hot summer days!

If you’re looking for Carrie, you can find her over on my blog today where she’s sharing her recipe for Classic Taco Salad. She’ll be sharing it here on Kenarry in a couple of weeks, but if you want to go ahead and take a peek, you can visit Belle of the Kitchen to check it out!

4th of July Food Ideas

With the 4th of July just a couple of days of away, I’ve been spending some time thinking about what to make for the big day. To me that usually means potato salad, burgers, hot dogs, lemonade, and some kind of red, white, and blue dessert.

Dessert is usually a lot of fun to make when celebrating the 4th, and I’ll probably make these Mini Fruit Pizzas again like I did last year. They were a big hit and I know I’ll probably devour more than my fair share this time around, too!

When there’s lots of yummy desserts and other heavy dishes to chow down on at a barbecue, sometimes I like to prepare a healthier alternative. It’s nice to have a fresh side dish to balance everything out, and this Greek Cucumber Salad definitely fits the bill!

How to Make Easy Cucumber Greek Salad

This salad is so easy to throw together. The hardest part is chopping the veggies, and that really only takes about five minutes. Add in some spices, lemon juice, olive oil, and feta, and you are ready to go.

You can definitely make this in a quick pinch for any barbecue or get-together this summer, but if you let it marinate for a couple of hours, the flavors will develop even more.

What type of olive is best in Greek salads? 

I made ours with black olives because my hubby and son love them, but if it were just for me, I’d leave them out! I’m kinda anti-olives. If you prefer a different kind of olive, you can definitely use those instead, too.

So what kind of side dishes do you have planned for your 4th of July celebration? Share your ideas with us below! We’d love to hear them.

    I just want to say THANK YOU for sharing this recipe. We can’t get enough! It has been our go-to side dish for the summer and has been added to our Family Favorites recipe book. My 2 kids (12 & 14) are pretty picky veggie eaters but they devour it every time. Thanks again for giving me another veggie side to put into our meal rotation 🙂

      Hi Sierra, great question! This recipe is best enjoyed the same day you make it. While it’s technically still edible and safe to eat later, tomatoes and cucumbers get mushy after about a day in the fridge, and the feta will get mushy as well.
