Classic Greek Salad

Serving: Greek Salad can be served as a refreshing side dish with grilled meats, seafood, or as part of a Mediterranean platter. It’s also fantastic on its own for a light lunch.
Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. However, keep in mind that the salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the cucumbers may release water and become soggy over time.
Variations:
Add Protein: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas for extra protein and make the salad a complete meal.
Swap Olives: If you prefer different olives, swap Kalamata olives for black or green olives.
Herbed Up: Add fresh herbs like parsley or mint for a more aromatic version.
FAQ:
1. Can I make this salad ahead of time?
While Greek Salad is best fresh, you can prepare the vegetables and store them in the fridge for a few hours. Add the feta, olives, and dressing just before serving to keep everything crisp.

2. Can I use other cheeses?
Yes, if you’re not a fan of feta, you can use goat cheese or mozzarella balls for a milder flavor.

You can add roasted red peppers, capers, or even a handful of toasted pine nuts for extra texture and flavor.
