Traditionally made from sheep’s milk, although sometimes a little goat’s milk is blended in. Salty and tangy, with a lemony flavour, and usually rich and creamy, although versions with more goat’s milk tend to be more crumbly. A classic Greek salad should be make solely with a base of vegetables, tomatoes, olives and Feta cheese, which we love ! Authentic Greek salad should only include green pepper, but we like the sweetness of the red ones, you should try both and determine which you prefer. The beauty of this salad is that you don’t need to even prepare a salad dressing. Simply drizzle a little bit of olive oil and a dash of red wine vinegar and that’s it.
