Making a List of Healthy Greek Dishes to Cook at Home

[dpappas87]

It's still summer, and there is plenty of fresh produce left to eat. I think about the time I have spent in Greece and how healthy I have felt eating that way, and I want to replicate this while home outside of Greece. So, I thought I would make a list of some of my favorite, healthy Greek dishes. Please share yours, too!

1. Village salad (choriatiki)
2. Lentil soup (fakes)
3. Chicken souvlaki (I don't put a lot of olive oil in the marinade)
4. Eggplant spread (melitzanasalata)
5. Dolmades - stuffed grape leaves
6. Spanakorizo (spinach rice)

I am curious - which healthy Greek dishes do you like the best?

I agree, it is still summer. Kids are back to school but the weather is still spectacular! This is a great time of year for some delicious summer foods. Here are my choices:

1. Homemade Greek tomato soup with orzo
2. Greek village salad
3. Spanakopita
4. Grilled corn, like they do in Greece (street food)
5. Horta

I love the various salads like cucumbers mixed with Greek yogurt, lots of dill, salt and a touch of oil.
Also, the easy potato salad - boiled potatoes, tomato cucumber onion, olive oil salt and oregano.

So much fresh produce that you dont even need to cook to enjoy
