GREEK SALAD
Greek salad is a classic dish of Mediterranean cuisine, known for its freshness and simplicity. We explain how to prepare an authentic Greek salad that will transport you to the Aegean islands.
Prepare the ingredients properly. First, wash the tomatoes, cucumber, and pepper thoroughly. Then, peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Also, cut the tomatoes into large chunks, the cucumber into thick slices, and the pepper into strips.
Assemble the salad. In a large salad bowl, combine the previously washed and cut ingredients and add the Iliada Kalamata olives. Mix gently so that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the Meteora feta cheese. Place the feta cheese cubes on top of the salad. It is usually left in large pieces rather than crumbled.
Dress the salad. Drizzle the Greek salad with extra virgin olive oil and, optionally, add red wine vinegar. Sprinkle dried oregano over the salad and season with Sal Maldon® Salt and pepper to taste.
Mix and serve. Finally, mix all the ingredients so the dressing is well distributed, and serve the Greek salad.
