Next, cube your Greek salad cheese and combine it with your chopped veggies.

Once you have prepared the cheese and veggies, cut your pork bacon into small pieces and fry in a dry pan until golden.

Top Tips

Increase the quantity of ingredients to make it suitable for large parties and gatherings.

You can mix and max the veggies you use; for example, if you don’t like olives, why not use red pepper instead or instead of pork bacon, why not try chicken?

For more taste and texture, why not try adding a grain like quinoa or couscous?
