I have a restaurant in Greece and this is how we make the Greek salad there: Chop a few tomatoes into squares, peel a cucumber and cut thick slices. Mix tomato and cucumber. Add some slices of red onion and a few capers. On top, put a slice of feta cheese. Sprinkle with olive oil and a pinch of dried oregano. Decorate with black olives.

Answer 3

You can use any salad ingredient you prefer (different type of lettuces, tomatoes, cucumber, celery, onions etc.) but two main ingredients a genuine Greek salad must have are Feta cheese, black, Greek olives, fresh, finely chopped coriander and a good quality extra-virgin olive oil.

Answer 4

Guzaria is Greek tapas: many little dishes that can be snacked on for a fulfilling meal. Old Athens would gather at small bars at the end of a hard day to find community members, discuss the day, and share food and drink at a leisurely pace over the course of the evening. Ouzo and cold beer are the suggested beverages with your Guzaria menu. Guzaria Menu: Greek Salad, Grilled Pita Bread, Greek Meatballs in Wine Sauce, Baked Gigantes Beans, and Grilled Shrimp.


3 vine ripe tomatoes, cut into chunks
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 European seedless cucumber, cut into bite-size chunks

Pita breads

Combine vegetables, olives, and parsley in a large bowl. Rest sliced feta on the top of salad. Combine oil, vinegar, and oregano in a small plastic container with a lid. Shake vigorously to combine oil and vinegar and pour over salad and cheese. Season with salt and pepper and let the salad marinate until ready to serve. Serve salad with pita bread blistered and warmed on a hot griddle or grill pan.
