Glow Greek Salad with Creamy Lemon Dill Dressing
A fresh vibrant salad from Natalie’s kitchen — crisp vegetables, creamy lemon dill dressing, salty feta, and all the bright Mediterranean-inspired flavors that make healthy eating feel joyful instead of complicated.
This is the kind of salad that instantly makes you feel refreshed after eating it.
Crunchy cucumber. Sweet tomatoes. Creamy feta. Briny olives. Fresh dill. Tangy yogurt dressing.
Every bite feels bright, crisp, and satisfying.
I especially love this recipe because it’s hearty enough to stand on its own while still feeling incredibly fresh and light.
And paired with caramelized sweet potatoes? Honestly one of my favorite easy dinners lately.
Simple real ingredients layered together well always seem to create the most memorable meals.

Ingredients
Creamy Lemon Dill Dressing
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1–2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- sea salt
- black pepper
Salad
- 1 large cucumber
- 2–3 ripe tomatoes
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 1–2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/2–3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Optional:
- drizzle extra virgin olive oil
- extra fresh dill
- grilled chicken
- chickpeas
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Refrigerate while preparing the salad so the flavors can settle together.
Wash and chop all vegetables.
Add the cucumber, tomatoes, olives, red onion, orange pepper, and broccoli to a large bowl.
Add half the feta and toss gently.
Pour over the dressing and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Top with the remaining feta and extra dill before serving.
For best flavor, let the salad rest in the refrigerator for about 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestion
This salad is especially delicious served with caramelized baked sweet potatoes.
Simply halve sweet potatoes lengthwise, drizzle generously with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast cut-side down at 400 degrees for about 1 hour until deeply caramelized and soft.
The sweet potatoes pair beautifully with the tangy creamy salad and salty feta.
