Why Greek Salad?

Greek salads are known for their fresh ingredients and bold flavors. The combination of juicy tomatoes, crunchy bell peppers, crisp cucumbers, tangy olives, and creamy feta makes this salad a crowd-pleaser. The za’atar dressing adds a unique twist, enhancing the traditional flavors with a hint of Middle Eastern spice.
