Creamy Prasini Salata (Greek Green Salad)
The greatest thing about this Prasini Salata, aka Greek Green Salad, is that its totally healthy and tastes like your eating mayonnaise dressing. The reason is thanks to the capers. They add the perfect flavoring to this dressing. I also like adding a touch of champagne vinegar to this salad.
So the dressing is everything here and I played around with it and ended up really liking it so much more with champagne vinegar. I know my girls love their lemon so I decided to use lemon for the video but just include here that champagne vinegar or even a combination of both was great too!

This is my new Greek Salad! I love the freshness and flavor!
Tried this salad on Sunday. Absolutely delicious. Added some pitted Kalamata olives on Monday evening – and some Parmesan instead of feta on Tuesday evening – a total hit.
Hi Suzanne, glad it was enjoyed! Thaks for the rating and sharing your feedback!
This is my favorite salad ever! I’ve made this for a few friends and they’re all hooked too. Sometimes I skip the poppy seeds because they get stuck in my teeth, but they do add a lovely crunch!
