Greek Summer Salad with Baked Honey Feta

Warm, golden feta meets raw Greek honey and real extra virgin olive oil- your new go-to summer salad has arrived.

🍅 Why This Salad is Changing the Game

We know Greek salad is everywhere. But trust us, you haven’t had this one.

Golden, oven-baked feta drizzled with wildflower honey. Juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumber, salty Kalamata olives. All finished with a hit of Greek oregano and a bold glug of extra virgin olive oil.

🌿 What Makes It So Good (Hint: It’s the Olive Oil & Honey)

This meal is all about sourcing ingredients that will sing.

We use:

• Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from early-harvest Koroneiki olives grown on our family grove in Kalamata

• Unblended raw wildflower honey from bees high on Mount Taygetos, foraged from thyme, oregano, and rockrose

The result? A recipe rich in taste, texture, and nutrients- the very heart of the Mediterranean diet.
