Traditional Greek Salad Recipe
Not a long time ago we promised to share our favorite Greek recipes. Our last recipe from that series was Basil Tzatziki Sauce Recipe, if you haven’t checked it yet, please do, you’ll love it. Today we are sharing with you one of the recipes we absolutely love to make during the whole summer – Traditional Greek Salad Recipe! 🙂
When you search for Greek Salad Recipe on the Internet, you’ll find so many recipes, but most of those are not the original. We have been so many times in Greece and we ate so many Greek Salads, and each one was exactly the same as the one you can see in our photos.
Original Greek salad comes with a large piece of Feta Cheese on top it, while on most salads you can see online there are chunks of feta all over it! Also, all the vegetables are roughly chopped – no small pieces. Each dressing ingredient was drizzled on top of the salad, not previously mixed. This is what makes this salad to look and taste so good.
