Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad bites will taste. Try to use ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives.
  • Choose a good feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in Greek salad, so it's important to choose a good one. Look for a feta cheese that is creamy and has a slightly tangy flavor.
  • Don't overdress the salad bites: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can overwhelm the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Make the salad bites ahead of time: Greek salad bites can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. This makes them a great option for parties or potlucks.
