A Greek farmer’s salad is one of the most traditional Greek dishes. In contrast to a classic salad, a Greek farmer’s salad does not consist of any leaf salads, but rather combines fresh vegetables with olives and sheep cheese. In this article, I’ll show you how easy it is to prepare this great salad.
I like to think back to the late summer of 2018, when I was allowed to explore the island of Crete for almost 3 weeks. By the way, I can absolutely recommend this destination. There you will find fantastic beaches and lots of things to see. A Greek farmer’s salad became something of my staple on this holiday, because it was available everywhere – super fresh, for little money. Whether at the beach hut for lunch, in the small tavern for dinner or homemade in the apartment: This salad is one of my favorite memories of this vacation.
Components of a Greek farmer’s salad
The beauty of this salad is its simplicity and the great combination of fresh flavors, because a Greek farmer’s salad consists of fresh cucumbers and tomatoes, refined with red onions and olives, enriched with green peppers and topped with fresh Greek sheep’s cheese. There is just a little olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
