The onions are shallots today, I “packed” them into the salad dressing.
In the well-known variant, the onions are usually cut into strips and are relatively “loud”…
To create a fine dressing, I refined the dressing with garlic, truffle oil and crème fraîche, with balsamic vinegar and Greek olive oil as the basis.
Balsamic:
Since almost everything good comes from Greek culture, I assume that the Romans already copied from the Greeks.
Aristoteles must have forgotten one or two vinegar barrels in the cellar and that is how the first balsamic vinegar was created.

Greek salad, with a little idea it becomes a gourmet salad…
4. Side Dish Ideas Greek Salad
I simply refused to put the wonderfully pickled olives in the salad.
Such a pickled olive is a taste pearl.
Mixed into the salad, I don’t think it tastes half as good as served separately.
My guests were enchanted by the wonderful taste of the Dimitri olives :-)!
Typical side dishes in Mallorcan cuisine are aioli, olives and aioli.
5. Greek Salad with Feta
The thing with sheep’s cheese or goat’s cheese is such a thing – not everyone likes it.
That’s why it’s easy for me to organize the best sheep’s cheese on the market to lovingly bread it in breadcrumbs at home in the kitchen.
I prefer goat’s cheese with honey anyway, briefly grilled and served on farmer’s bread with blossom honey….
Goat cheese in the pan while caramelizing.
Back to sheep’s cheese:
These baked feta cheese cubes become really delicious if you add thyme to the breading.
You can use fresh thyme or dried thyme. Why does thyme fit into the Greek salad?
In ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, thyme, which is also known in various varieties as quendel, hummingbird, humility or garden thyme, was already used to treat respiratory diseases and gastrointestinal complaints.
Well-known authors such as Theoprastus, Dioskorides and the polymath Roman Pliny described the various types of use and preparation in various ancient writings.
Thyme has only been cultivated in German-speaking countries since the 11th century. It is said that wandering Benedictine monks brought the healthy herb with them from Italy.
Well, thyme goes perfectly with the Greek salad…and monks do good, too…
Herbs as a supplement are popular with star chefs, anything that tastes good and makes you happy is allowed.
6. New Idea Feta Baked for Greek salad
Look how delicious these cheese cubes look delicious and fine…
Sheep’s cheese balls, breaded with thyme and breadcrumbs and fried in hot fat, taste great.
The salad turned out beautifully, feta cheese with a difference, Greek salad style 2018

Only original Greek graviera tastes even better than baked feta! 🙂 And then a bit with honey and sesame… wonderful! But of course feta will do too 🙂 the Greeks know a thing or two about cheese!
