Classic Greek Salad

Serving: Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, pita bread, or as part of a Mediterranean mezze platter.
Storage: Greek salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. If storing, avoid mixing the dressing in until serving to keep the vegetables crisp.
Variations
Add Protein: For a heartier meal, add grilled chicken, lamb, or shrimp.
Add Green Bell Pepper: Traditional Greek salads sometimes include slices of green bell pepper for extra crunch.
Vegan Version: Skip the feta or substitute it with a dairy-free alternative.
FAQ
1. Can I use different olives?
While Kalamata olives are traditional, you can substitute with any other variety you prefer, such as green olives or black olives.
