Question

What dinner type food goes good with Greek Salad?

Answer 1

Almost anything. I love Greek salad!! Try some warm hummus and bread with the Greek salad. You'll be surprised at how filling it is!

Answer 2

Salads are great with meats, but Greek salads are best with Lamb or baby cow...Or if you like chicken, try cornish hens instead and serve it with rice also.

Answer 3

I'm a Greek Salad lover as well and I always find my greek food recipes from the website - www.dummychef.com

Try it..

Answer 4

Since you are having a greek salad i would go with a Greek dinner.

But you can always have normal rice and etc.

My fiances step dad is greek and he has greek night.

here is some good recipes from him-

GREEK GRILLED GROUPER  

2 grouper filet

Greek seasoning (powder kind found in spices)

1 small can stewed tomatoes (with garlic variety)

1 small can chopped black olives

Place fish filet in oil-sprayed (Pam) foil pan. Coat with Greek powder seasoning. Spread stewed tomatoes on top of fish filet. Sprinkle with Greek seasoning again. Top with chopped black olives. Lightly sprinkle with Greek seasoning again. (DO NOT SALT)

Cover with foil and seal around sides of pan. Put pan on hot grill. Cook on medium head for about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on thickness of fish filets. You may squeeze lemon juice on top after cooking if you desire a more tart tasting fish.

This can be done with any kind of fish. Shark is excellent.
