Advice

Keep the feta as a slab on top—classic presentation and better texture. Salt the veg lightly first so their juices + dressing form a bright natural emulsion.

Why it works

Large rustic cuts stay crunchy; quick salting seasons from within; a simple oil-vinegar-oregano dressing lets tomato liquor and olive brine do the heavy lifting.

Twist

Dakos-style: serve over split barley rusks rubbed with tomato—let the juices soak in for a seaside mezze feel.

Status

Sun-ripe, briny, and crunchy—the village salad that tastes like a Greek taverna table. #grannyzen #greeksalad 🥗🇬🇷
