Greek Guacamole is a redo worth redoing again and again and again. I do believe that this recipe has been posted here twice already….cut me some slack wouldja this is some good chompin, I need to make sure you all get this one in your repertoire of dips/salads.
Which brings me to the next topic. Is this a dip or a salad.
It really doesn’t matter what you call it! Greek Guacamole is so darn dig-into-it good! I first had this recipe at a party, then it turned up in my kids elementary schools cookbook, and the rest is history! I’ve been pushin’ this stuff on my friends and family ever since!
Chop 3 medium Avocados, 3-4 medium Tomatoes (I like to use Roma Tomatoes), 1/2 medium Red Onion into a bowl. Chop them chunky, this is a hearty dip, not a sauce.
Dressing: 1-2 Garlic cloves minced, 1/2 cup Wishbone Italian Dressing, juice of 1 Lime, 1/2 teaspoon Cumin, 1/4 cup fresh Cilantro chopped. Whisk this all together or pop it in your food processor.
Pour dressing over guacamole mixture. Give it a toss, smashing some of the avocado pieces as you go. Smashing some of the avocado gives this recipe a creamer texture, even though it’s a chunky dip.
Now for the piece de resistance! Feta Cheese. Crumble 3/4 cup Feta Cheese over the top. Stand back, wipe the tear from your cheek and grab a chip baby!
OR if your heart so desires pile this atop a grilled chicken breast, or a burger, or just eat it as a side. It’s a very luverly thing. This just happens to be Ree’s Tequila Lime Chicken, and since PW once told me this guacamole was “life changing”, I thought it only fitting to pile it on her chicken recipe.

Whatever it is it’s good stuff! I guess it doesn’t really matter what we call it right? Hope you give it a try! Happy Weekend!
I don’t know what to call it, either. But it sure looks delicious, and I just printed it off – thanks Sheila! Have a great weekend! xo
I would have never thought about adding feta, but that is brilliant! (especially since I love feta!)
I’m definitely saving this recipe!
I don’t care whether it’s a dip or a salad, I love everything about it! I want to grab a big handful of tortilla chips and dig in! 🙂
Digging is a must with this deliciousness! Hope you are well!xoxo Sheila
