The most “Aegina-style” salad you’ve ever tasted!
Every place has its own flavors, colors, and aromas. Aegina is known for its pistachios, its bright sky, and its turquoise-blue waters. Can all of these coexist in a single… salad? Of course they can—creating a very nutritious, balanced, and delicious recipe!
- Mixed salad greens
- Lettuce
- Green lollo (curly lettuce)
- Red lollo
- Cherry tomatoes
- Aegina pistachios
- Geremezi cheese (or Katiki Domokou)
- Olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- Petimezi (grape molasses)
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
Roughly chop—preferably by hand—the mixed greens, lettuce, and lollo, and place them in a deep bowl. Whisk together equal parts olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and petimezi, adding a little salt and freshly ground pepper. Pour this dressing over the greens.
After mixing well, transfer everything to a salad bowl and cut the cherry tomatoes on top. Add the geremezi cheese and finally the Aegina pistachios.
The result is a filling salad with a sweet-and-sour flavor and many beneficial properties!
