GREEK SALAD PINWHEELS
terribly addictive party food but it's reasonably healthy so that's ok. cooking time is chill time. edited due to reviews: they can get a bit overly wet, try making the salad a few hours to a day beforehand and then scooping out with a slotted spoon to leave the liquid behind. this also infuses the veggies like a marinade. they wont be terrible colourful unless you use a light-coloured vinegar and mix the dressing in right before serving. i like balsamic but i generally choose taste over appearances if i have to choose.

- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your Greek salad pinwheels will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and flavorful feta cheese.
- Don't overstuff the pinwheels: If you overstuff them, they will be difficult to roll and may fall apart. Aim for a thin layer of filling that is evenly distributed across the tortilla.
- Chill the pinwheels before serving: This will help them to set and make them easier to slice.
