Imagine sitting at a table in Santorini overlooking the caldera. The waiver arrives with your Greek salad – Horiatiki. Small Santorini tomatoes, crisp fresh cucumber, glistening black olives, and red onions, maybe even tangy capers to jazz it up a bit, topped with a wedge of creamy white feta. Now, imagine a dressing with the flavors of summer in Greece, lemons, oregano, chives, black pepper and polyphenol-rich extra virgin olive oil, are you there? Hear the bouzouki music in the background?

Now take that traditional Greek flavor combination home with Greek Seasoning Olive Oil and use it for your salads. Try it over grilled fish, or for marinating chicken, lamb, and your favorite cuts of meat. It’s wonderful added to scrambled eggs – maybe even with the Horiatiki ingredients – tomato, feta, onions and olives. Of course you can add the flavors of Greece to your favorite salad combination any time you want to experience blue skies, turquoise seas and sunshine.
