About Insalata greca

Insalata Greca, or Greek Salad, is a refreshing dish originating from Greece, embodying Mediterranean flavors and vibrant ingredients. Traditionally, it features ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, red onions, Kalamata olives, and creamy feta cheese, all tossed in a simple dressing of olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Sometimes, bell peppers and capers are added for extra flair. This salad is a nutrient-packed option, thanks to its abundance of vegetables rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, promoting heart health and reducing inflammation. Olive oil provides healthy monounsaturated fats, while feta cheese contributes calcium and protein, though in moderation due to its sodium content. Without heavy dressings, Insalata Greca is naturally low in calories, making it a wholesome choice for light meals or sides. However, its sodium from olives and cheese may require consideration by those monitoring salt intake. Overall, this Mediterranean classic combines flavor and nutrition harmoniously.
