Chef’s Tips for Maximum Flavor!

• Use Block Feta for the Best Texture – Pre-crumbled feta often contains anti-caking agents that make it dry. Buy a block and crumble or cube it yourself for a creamier bite.
• Slice the Onion Paper-Thin – A strong raw onion can overpower the salad. Slice it as thinly as possible or soak it in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow the sharpness.
• Go for Persian or English Cucumbers – Regular cucumbers have more seeds and water content, which can make the salad watery. Persian or English cucumbers stay crisp and fresh.
• Let It Marinate for a Bit – While this salad is great fresh, letting it sit for 15-20 minutes before serving enhances the flavors as the dressing soaks in.
• Add Fresh Herbs for a Flavor Boost – While dried oregano is classic, fresh basil, parsley, or dill can take the salad to another level. Just chop and toss them in!
• Don’t Skimp on the Dressing – Greek salads should be generously dressed. The olive oil helps carry the flavors and keeps the ingredients juicy and delicious.
• Make It a Full Meal – Toss in some grilled chicken, shrimp, or even avocado to turn this salad into a filling, nutrient-packed meal.
