Today, I'm going to show you an authentic recipe for the famous Greek Khirtaki Salad! The Greek Kritharaki Salad is a delicious blend of rice noodles, fresh vegetables, and Mediterranean flavors. The small rice-shaped noodles give the salad a pleasantly juicy texture, while tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta cheese, and fresh herbs add a spicy and refreshing touch to the whole dish. This salad is a perfect side dish or even a light meal for warm summer days.
