TIPS

Here are some tips for the preparation of  Greek Salad:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes and crisp cucumbers will elevate the flavour of this Salad.
  • Add The Feta Last: For a more visually appealing presentation, crumble the feta over the top just before serving.
  • Customise The Dressing: Adjust the olive oil and oregano to taste, or add a splash of red wine vinegar for extra tang.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Protein: Include grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas for added protein.
  • Swap The Olives: Use green olives or marinated artichoke hearts for a different flavour profile.
  • Make It Heartier: Add quinoa or bulgur wheat to make this Salad more filling.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Refrigerate The Dressing: If preparing in advance, store the salad dressing separately and toss the Salad just before serving.
  • No Freezing: This Salad is best enjoyed fresh and doesn’t freeze well due to the high water content of the vegetables.
