Greek salad
Olives, tomatoes, feta
A Greek salad is a dish of chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, and feta cheese, typically dressed with olive oil and oregano.
Unlike American green salads, it contains no lettuce in its traditional form, though variations outside Greece often add it.
The salad showcases Mediterranean ingredients and appears as a side dish or light meal.
We ordered a Greek salad to share before the main course.
