A fun twist on the usual Greek Salad!

One of my favorite salads is a fresh Greek Salad. On my trip to Greece this summer, I made it a point to try a “real” Greek Salad and Tzatziki Dip in just about every restaurant. To my amazement, the Greek Salads served in Greece are much different than what we make in the U.S.

Today, I’m happy to share a true Traditional Greek Salad recipe along with a few of my travel photos!

Easy Greek Salad Recipe

Along with the beautiful scenery and history, came the Greek Salad! To our surprise, this salad came with no lettuce. Yep, that was a big shocker! You will find very little salad or ice in Greece. Something we as Americans can’t seem to get enough of back at home.

Even though this simple and delicious salad didn’t come with lettuce, it was often prepared in a stylish fashion. I copied one of my favorite presentations for you here.

I wish I had the gigantic Greek capers for this photo. They are triple the size of what we can get here at home and super delicious! But our tiny capers will have to do.
