Ingredient appreciation — what makes Greek Salad special

What sets Greek Salad apart is the handling of Kalamata olives. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the cleanly savoury result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Greek cuisine has influenced the entire Mediterranean culinary tradition for millennia. The a taverna by the Aegean sea atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had cold Fix lager as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Greek Salad is the place to start.
