I fell in love with this salad after trying it for the first time. I thought that putting dates and pistachios together in a salad would sweeten it too much but the mix with the arugula, feta and pomegranate seeds is simply perfect. A salad that literally takes 5/10 minutes to make and you can have it either as a light lunch/dinner or you can serve it as a starter or bring it to a picnic (your guests will be impressed). It’s really one of those dishes that stands out because of its flavours but requires almost 0 time.

Greek salad is a staple of Greek cuisine and makes for a perfect light lunch/dinner or as a side dish. It’s best to eat it in spring and summer when the ingredients are in season and fresh. As most of the ingredients are raw vegetables this will make a huge difference! Even though some people like to add greens like rucola and cabbage to their Greek Salad the original recipe only includes: tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, red onions, olives and feta cheese. You can of course add anything else (I like to add a couple of capers).

This is literally my all time favourite summer salad as it has everything I love: tomatoes, feta, capers and bread! And you can even add some pesto on top to give it an extra kick. In Greece it’s usually made with Round Barley Rusks but I also sometimes make them with these Krisprolls you can find in coop.
