Greek Salad
Greek salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that originated in Greece. It is a simple yet delicious salad that combines fresh ingredients such as juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, tangy red onions, creamy feta cheese, and briny Kalamata olives. The salad is typically dressed with a simple dressing made of olive oil, lemon juice, and dried oregano, which enhances the flavors of the ingredients. Greek salad is a perfect side dish or light meal on its own, and its vibrant colors and flavors make it a popular summer dish.
