Greek Salad Recipe

Greek Salad Recipe

The Greek salad recipe from my big, fat Greek restaurant

As soon as summer comes Greek salad is on the table every day. The traditional Greek salad is a typical summer dish - it has to be made by sun warm tomatoes, preferably picked from my own vegetable garden. This salad simply doesn't taste at all in the winter, so I don't even bother to make it then, but make salad with typical winter vegetables like cabbage and broccoli instead. It's great to have something to look forward to when spring is over!

Here's what you need:

Tomatoes, chopped into square pieces

Cucumber, sliced (peel the cucumber unless it's organic)

Black olives

Red onion or spring onions, cut into slices

Feta cheese

Dried oregano

Olive oil

In a deep bowl put first the cucumber, then the tomatoes, the onions and finally the feta cheese (I use to place one slice feta cheese on the top of the salad, but some prefer to crumble it). Decorate with the black olives. Sprinkle with dried oregano and a dash of olive oil.

Greek salad can be served as a starter, on its own or with for instance grilled fish or meat. It's also lovely with tzatziki on the side.
