Try the Best Greek Salad Recipe
Looking for a salad for the summer that doesn’t take much time in the kitchen? Then look no further than this summer greek salad. It literally just takes minutes to throw together and the results are refreshing and healthy. This salad is a testament to the classic summer garden of radishes, tomatoes, and cucumbers. I absolutely love greek food and all the flavors they have.
You can make a simple yogurt sauce with lemon, dill, mint, or in this case I added some sumac, or if you have all of those ingredients you can add all of them. I don’t have feta on the picture but I would recommend manouri cheese if you can find it, to me it is less salty than feta and the flavor is amazing! Here is the recipe for a quick and easy summer greek salad, I hope you enjoy it!
