Greek Salad (Horiatiki)
There is something about the freshness and vibrancy of a Greek salad that just adds a whole lot of color to your meal. Not only is it tasty, it is also healthy.
Greek salad is low-calorie and nutrient-dense, also providing you with a healthy dose of vitamins A and C, as well as potassium and iron. It also contains phytonutrients and antioxidants, which reduce the risk of health problems such as heart disease and cancer.
So, why not just toss a few chopped cucumbers, some sliced tomatoes, feta cheese, olives, garnished with evo3 and oregano, and make your meal a complete one!
