Feta cheese in salads is so delicious and one of my favorite flavors!

It is the classic cheese used in greek salads.

Olives in greek salad

Traditional greek salad recipes have olives in them.

I’m not an olive person, but if you are, those would be a great addition to this salad!

Just add sliced olives to taste.
