Frequently asked questions

Which version should I choose if I avoid lactose or milk protein?

Choose the vegan version. It removes feta cheese and keeps the tomato, cucumber, olive and oregano base.

Is the vegan version traditional?

No. It is an adapted version for dairy avoidance; classic Greek salad usually includes feta.

How should I store leftovers?

Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container. The salad is best when dressed close to serving.
