I like to stuff this into a whole wheat pita, sometimes with Dijon or hummus or plain Greek Yogurt or tuna salad

That looks awesome. But aren’t those Persian cucumbers? I would think, given a few thousand years of history, that no Greek would put those in. I would. But I’m not Greek.

Looks great! Way too much olives for my taste, but i‘d sort them out out and enjoy it anyway

I used to eat this for lunch once or twice a week because it was just so darn good. Mmmm. Add some chickpeas to stretch it out a bit!

Very convenient for quick preparation. When I was in a dorm and didn’t want to use the kitchen, I just bought a cucumber and tomato on my way home and chopped them in my room.
Basil also works well instead of oregano. Adds a lot of taste.
I also like to add either sour cream or low-fat mayo. And a bit of soy sauce.

I like how the restaurants in Greece serve it with a single big piece of Feta, instead of cutting the Feta and mixing it into the salad.

Far worse to me are the non-traditional green olives. Just… why?
You gots the Kalamata / Greek olives and you’re beyond good to go on the olive front…
