About Cretan salad

Cretan Salad is a vibrant dish rooted in the flavors of traditional Cretan cuisine from Greece. Typically made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, it includes ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, crisp green peppers, red onions, Kalamata olives, capers, and tangy feta cheese. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil enhances its rich Mediterranean essence, often accompanied by a sprinkle of oregano and optional whole-grain barley rusks for added texture. This salad is a nutrient-packed choice, high in antioxidants, fiber, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from the olive oil and olives. It's also a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, along with calcium from the feta. While the cheese contributes protein and flavor, it adds sodium, so moderation is key. Refreshing, wholesome, and simple, Cretan Salad embodies the healthful principles of the Mediterranean diet while celebrating the island's culinary heritage.
