So right now my friends you and I are going to make a Greek salad together an authentic and classic recipe I’ll reveal all the secrets and nuances this recipe is going to come in handy especially as you can rustle up a Greek salad real fast in 6 minutes tops we’re actually shooting this
Segment live no editing at all the timer is set for 6 minutes let’s get to work listen up guys we’re making a classic Greek salad and you know what I actually used to think what is a Greek salad it looks a certain way and One Restaurant a
Different way and another but when I went to Greece I figured it all out also I realized that the Greek salad I used to eat wasn’t exactly the real deal now I’m going to show you a recipe for amazing and traditional Greek salad with
All the ins and outs so first of all the ingredients veggies they’re always the same vegetables what I mean is you can’t really put things like I don’t know radishes in it or celery or anything like that because it’s not going to be a Greek salad so for a Greek salad a sweet
Bell pepper is a must have and it has to be it actually has to be cut up into really big chunks like these ones that’s crucial just like that no small pieces a Greek salad must have large chunks so once I remember I went to Greece and you
Know I like I ordered a Greek salad they brought it out and I said guys why does this look so weird it doesn’t really look like you tried here like why didn’t you just you know why didn’t you just slice it all up you do know how to slice
Stuff the vegetables of my Greek sound were cut up into such large pieces that it was like the Tomato had just been sliced in half the same with the Cucumber then I realized the Greeks don’t sweat over that they just take some fresh vegetables and off they go
Here’s we have cucumber and tomato cut them into big pieces now the Cucumbers so in grease as you can see it’s really hot there and their cucumbers always kind of have like you know like somewhat of a tough skin on them that’s why what they usually do in grease before they
Actually add cucumbers to the salad is they peel the skin off I’m going to do the same thing here so our salad has that genuine Greek feel to it remember to slice the vegetables into big chunks just like this here so 1 2 3 one 2 3 4
Voila that’s one cucumber done now for the second ah jeez Greece in fact Greek cuisine is trending all over the place right now like it’s popular everyone loves it it’s really fresh intense delicious plus it’s kind of hard to actually visit Greece now that’s why everyone started tucking into Greek
Cuisine more often I mean there are a bunch of Greek restaurants that have opened up all over the city like there’s a lot of them and everyone’s going there so I’m here showing you how to make a Greek salad at home an authentic one the classic way moving on right we’re done
With the vegetables Next Step time for The Red Onion it has to be a red onion cuz it’s sweet and it’s definitely an essential ingred to our salad there shouldn’t be too much of it in the salad so say about this much will be enough for the dish you don’t need
Loads by adding an onion you’ll give the salad some sweetness and it’s going to give it a nice crunch you can’t go wrong with an onion all right look here there’s one more thing that I’m adding to the salad it’s this nice chotic here you see I’m trying to make it as
Authentic as possible I’ll just grab some garlic and crush it like this boom now let’s just start rubbing it rub the garlic all over the slice of the bread like this I mean you don’t have to do it people don’t always do it but I’m going to because it’s tastier this way right
I’ll just preheat the pan now and then pour a touch of olive oil into the pan just like that now I’m going to slightly toast the chabata bread in the oil give it some time to Crispen it’s going to be absolutely delicious and simply great so what’s next moving on to the dressing
Listen up there’s one more important secret and that’s olive oil you know Greek cuisine is exclusively about using olive oil which is exactly why we’re going to add some olive oil to the Greek salad and no other kind of oil will make the cut here to intensify the flavor not
Everybody does this but I’ve seen it done and it’s delicious you can add wine vinegar but just a little bit right also add a little bit of fresh oregano that’s how you do it actually I don’t mean fresh but dried oregano because oregano here is simply a must add let’s mix it
Up now here’s our dressing and it’s really going to make the flavor pop pour it in take a look at these gorgeous veggies full of color nice everything’s sparkling it looks great and of course just a Sprinkle of salt you see this big chunks beautiful colorful just a touch of freshly ground
Pepper add some black olives as well in fact in grease they add either green or black olive they can be with pits or without sometimes both black ones and green ones it doesn’t really matter here so feel free to use the type of Olives that you like add green olives or black
Olives whichever you prefer just like that I’ve seen people add gigantic olives of different sorts and sizes olive trees grow there so olives are very very often used in Greek cuisine mix everything up real quick but just a smidgen take it easy I mean just try to
Be delicate with it don’t turn it into mush now we add the Red Onion look at this bright red color just look at how bright the colors are now this is damn well how it should be done simply wonderful a gorgeous plate plain and simple the Greeks don’t get hung up on
That stuff they slice and serve just look at this beauty huh the colors are really bright here it is an authentic and classic Greek salad when you make a salad like this your mouth Waters right away okay bre bread great it’s smoking beautiful great stuff all right here we
Go guys on to the final ingredient obviously I’m talking about feta cheese a lot of people Chuck it and say mozzarella or brinza or some other kind of cheese no way guys if you’re going to make a Greek salad feta is always the way to go for now basically this cheese
It’s like a bit salty you know it’s brine cheese and it’s really tasty right before I visited gree for the first time I’d seen people cut the cheese up into these cubes mix it with the salad and then they just serve it when I came to
Greece I saw they took a huge block of cheese and placed it right in the center of the salad you know what I mean and that’s just how they served it and I’m thinking why didn’t you cut it up and they were like well that’s just how we
Do it because there’s a lot of this cheese and grease and people love it there okay now look here this is how you’re supposed to serve the dish just sprinkle some oregano on top okay let’s rearrange the Red Onion slices here here and here to make them really pop right our garlic
Bread’s already crisp the next thing that you’re going to do is add some olive oil to the salad right on top on the cheese this is how you’re supposed to serve it wow what a beauty I mean just look at this masterpiece here done and by the time we’re done with the
Final step our garlic bread is ready ah smells of garlic it’s toasted and crisp in the olive oil right what now is there anything I forgot okay we’ve got garlic bread colorful salad it’s pound-for-pound like how they do it in grease and made with the ingredients

Tasty garlic bread is a welcome addition and of course feta cheese these are black olives by the way this is the only place where black olives are called melins and green ones are simply olives over the rest of the world it’s olives olives just olives just black olives and green
Ones it feels like I’m sitting in grease right now if only I were swimming in the sea M and a bite of the bread the salad’s a little bit sour it’s crunchy delicious the cheese is a bit salty it’s like all the ingredients here compliment each other you know what in
