Greek Salad

Greek salad, a culinary delight, is a vibrant medley of fresh ingredients that encapsulates the essence of Mediterranean cuisine. Crisp lettuce, succulent tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions form the salad's base, while the star ingredients, briny Kalamata olives and creamy feta cheese, elevate its flavours. Dressed in a simple yet robust blend of olive oil, lemon juice, and aromatic oregano, the salad embodies a harmonious balance of textures and tastes. Its origins trace back to Greece, where it is a staple, reflecting the region's commitment to wholesome ingredients. A classic Greek salad not only tantalizes the taste buds but also celebrates simplicity and culinary finesse.
