Salad
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. Whenever I want something light, I always prepare this salad. The traditional recipe includes cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese, dressed with olive oil. In many restaurants, you can find dozens of variations, such as with peppers, onions, or celery. But I love this version the most. Garnish as desired and serve.
