Zesty Greek-Style Salad - Step 3

Chef's Notes

For the best flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and let the salad rest as directed to allow the vegetables to absorb the dressing.

If you prefer a stronger oregano flavor, lightly crush the dried oregano between your fingers before adding it to the dressing to release its aromatic oils.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this salad alongside grilled chicken souvlaki, lamb chops, or as part of a mezze platter with hummus and pita bread. It's also perfect for picnics and potlucks.
