Greek Salad

Greek Salad

People say Greek Salads taste better in Greece and the truth is that greek weather makes the tomatoes  so delicious and bursting with flavour.  An advice to anybody leaving in a cold country that finds it hard to find well flavoured tomatoes, is to use cherry tomatoes instead. In some countries grape or cherry tomatoes seem to be sweeter, so give that a try.

A refreshing salad, perfect for a summer evening meal, for a quick lunch or to serve as a side with your meal. Greek salad is also perfect with fish dishes and with a glass of wine.
