GREEK SALAD
Here's How It Works.
Greek salad, is a common component of a traditional Greek meal. It is one of the most popular salads, especially during the summer months, in Greece and Cyprus as it is light, refreshing, and easy to make. True Greek salad is essentially a tomato salad made of sliced or chopped tomatoes with a few slices of cucumber, and red onion, seasoned with salt, black pepper, and oregano and dressed with olive oil. Common additions include feta cheese, bell peppers, capers, anchovies, sardines and kalamata olives. Lettuce and vinegar are not used in a Greek salad.
A lettuce salad is a distinct salad, also popular, especially in the autumn and spring, consisting of finely sliced lettuce, scallions, and fresh dill, and dressed with salt, black pepper, olive oil and red wine vinegar or lemon juice.
