Greek salad-perfect refreshment!

We may not be able to send you on a trip to a sunny Greek beach, but we can teach you how to make the perfect Greek salad. Greek salad is a bit different from the others, and with the addition of pasta or bulgur, it easily turns into a main dish. 

By itself, Greek salad is a great snack, and we will be happy to eat it with barbecue or other meat dishes. Also, Greek salad easily becomes the main dish with the addition of carbohydrates. It is up to you to choose what you want to add, and we suggest integral pasta, bulgur or maybe quinoa in order to get a little more protein for satiety in addition to a healthy dose of carbohydrates.
