Greek Style Salad
I made this by combining ingredients that my partner loves, with cucumbers that he doesn't, and it turned out great.
There's nothing much to it. I usually cut up what I have on hand, and add mint, which I take from my planter. Real Greek salads contain garlic, but since I don't like the smell, I make it without. Recipe by Yumio

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the cucumber into 6-8 portions, then slice into 8mm widths. Divide the onion into 8 portions, then slice thinly. Mix with 1 tablespoon of salt, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- 2
Dice the feta cheese. I dice them into 1cm cubes and marinate them in olive oil. (See the bottle to the right of the bowl in the photo in Step 1.) This prevents the cheese from turning moldy, and it's ready to use anytime!
- 3
Cut the tomatoes into halves or quarters, and combine with 1 teaspoon of salt.
- 4
Quarter the olives.
- 5
Squeeze the moisture from the cucumbers and onion. I press down firmly in the bowl to do this.
- 6
Toss all of the ingredients together. There's no need to drain the tomatoes. I use feta cheese that I keep stored in a bottle of olive oil.

Greek Style Quinoa Salad Greek Style Quinoa Salad
This makes for a protein packed, fresh lunch. Perfect for if you have some leftover quinoa sitting in the fridge. It keeps for a few days, so it's good for meal prepping. It's also easy to customize it to your liking. If you're not a fan of quinoa, I'm betting this would be really good as a pasta salad, or over some chopped romaine. If you'd like to take the 'bite' out of the raw onions, then soak them in some cold water for a few minutes before adding them.

Traditional Greek Salad (Choriatiki Salata) Traditional Greek Salad (Choriatiki Salata)
Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend :) A brand new week ahead of us and I am hoping that it is a good one for everyone. I am back with a salad again today, and this one I know that everyone knows and has tried :) the Traditional Greek Salad, or otherwise known in Greece as "Choriatiki Salata" which translated into English means "Country Salad" or "Village Salad"This reminds of a story, my Dad had a really great sense of humour sometimes his jokes were just to funny that my stomach would hurt from laughing so much, but sometimes he would say things that were just so nonchalant...This is really funny but you need to understand Greek to be able to understand. We had gone to a Greek Tavern in Chasia which is an area in Athens that mainly has Greek Taverns. :) We were just about to order the appetisers when my dad turned around in a very nonchalant way and asked the waiter if they had "Vlaxiki salata" instead of saying "Choriatiki salata". We had never heard this salad referred to as Vlaxiki Salad, we had a good laugh and so did the waiter!! :)The truth is that back in those days the Villagers would grow there own tomatoes, cucumbers, so when working in the fields they would have a Tomato, Cucumber a few olives on a napkin to eat. So the term Vlaxiki Salata comes from how they used to eat, as years followed the named changed to Greek Salad, or Choriatiki. :) My mom grew up in a village so she told me that back then this is what my grandfather use
