Winter Greek Salad
Description
A simple way to prepare food ahead for later. Of course, preserved Greek salad will differ from the regular version; many ingredients simply cannot be used. Traditionally in our family, canned Greek salad is a salad of beans, peppers, tomatoes, and carrots. To make Greek salad for winter, soak the beans in advance. The salad itself is very easy to make—see the recipe. Jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.
