Tips: Crumble feta cheese over the warm salad just before serving. The creamy and tangy notes of feta complement the salmon and rice while adding a luxurious creaminess to the dish. It’s a quintessential ingredient in Greek cuisine that brings everything together.

Did you know: Dill and feta, two iconic ingredients in Greek cuisine, play a vital role in imparting distinctive flavors and enhancing the richness of various dishes. Dill, with its feathery leaves and fresh, slightly anise-like taste, is often used to infuse salads, sauces, and seafood dishes with a burst of herbaceous brightness. In combination with feta, a crumbly and tangy cheese made from sheep or goat milk, these ingredients create a harmonious union that is characteristic of Greek gastronomy. Feta, with its creamy texture, finds its way into salads, spanakopita (spinach pie), and mezes, offering a savory counterpoint to the herbaceous notes of dill. Together, dill and feta contribute to the complexity and depth of flavors that define Greek culinary traditions, showcasing a love for fresh, locally sourced ingredients in the heart of Mediterranean cuisine.
