Greek salad is irreplaceable on the Greek table. With its fresh ingredients, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese and olives, it is a refreshing dish that perfectly accompanies both cooked and grilled food. It pairs beautifully with skewer, mouthwatering shrimp or even a pizza. For a quick meal, pair the salad with freshly baked bread. I recommend accompanying it with a glass of white wine, as it brings out the flavors.

5 Tips for the Greek Salad:

Both tomatoes and cucumbers are vegetables that should not be kept in the fridge. Keep at room temperature to get all the flavours and aromas.

For an authentic salad, choose ripe and tasty tomatoes.

In the salad, opt for quality feta cheese, which should be salty and firm.

If you want your salad to shine, use virgin olive oil and why not use an extra virgin olive oil for a dressing that will stand out.

To give the salad a livelier character, add a little lemon or vinegar to the dressing, which will bring out the flavours and add a fresh note.
