4 servings
40 minutes
Greek salad with tortillas and veal is a harmony of fresh vegetables, aromatic spices, and rich flavor. This recipe is inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, known for its lightness and health benefits. Cucumbers and cherry tomatoes create a refreshing base, mint adds a subtle herbal note, while feta and yogurt make it tender and creamy. A key highlight is the veal mince that adds zest and richness. Lemon juice and oregano contribute the characteristic Greek taste, while crispy tortillas with hummus make the dish not only filling but also unique in presentation. This salad is perfect as a standalone dish or as part of a festive table.
