Vegetable salad with olives and cheese is a bright and nutritious dish of European cuisine that harmoniously combines fresh vegetables, tangy olives, and soft cheese. The roots of such a salad can be found in Mediterranean traditions where the freshness and simplicity of ingredients play a key role. Tomatoes add juiciness and a slight acidity, carrots provide a sweet note, while dill and green onions add fresh spice. Olives bring a characteristic saltiness that pairs well with lemon juice and vegetable oil. The finishing touch is grated cheese that adds creaminess and richness to the flavor. This salad is perfect as a light dinner or an accompaniment to main dishes; it refreshes and energizes while remaining simple and quick to prepare.
