it had olive's, lots of feta cheese, lots of home made greek dressing and it was quite large i was thinking 500 calories does anyone know for sureHow many calories are in a large greek salad?
Like you say, it really depends on the additional extras that are in it i.e. the dressing (olive oil mainly), feta cheese etc.
How many tablespoons of dressing do you think there were? Remember there is about 120 calories per tbsp of Olive Oil.
Also with the feta cheese there is about 396 in 1 cup of crumbled feta.
Olives are about 5 calories each (if they were in brine - add a bit extra if marinated in olive oil)
With these facts you can probably calculate more easily the actual calories.
If you are still wondering there's about 105 calories on average per cup of greek salad without dressing. So for a large salad I would say allow 3 cups (315kcals) then add 1tbsp of dressing (120kcals).
So I'd say your looking at about 435kcals all together so your estimate is about right.How many calories are in a large greek salad?
Depends.
