Greek Dakos Salad with Black Olives & Feta

Greek Dakos Salad with Black Olives & Feta

Inspiration: A Cretan island specialty, dakos uses barley rusks as a base. It’s lighter than a typical salad but full of punchy, sun-kissed flavors.

Ingredients

  • 2 large barley rusks (or thick toasted bread)
  • 2 medium tomatoes, grated or finely chopped
  • ½ cup CEREN Black Olives, halved
  • 100 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons CEREN Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare rusks: Sprinkle rusks lightly with water so they soften slightly but stay crunchy.

Top with tomato: Spread grated tomato over each rusk. Season with salt and pepper.

Add olives & feta: Scatter CEREN Black Olives and crumbled feta cheese generously.

Finish: Drizzle with olive oil and oregano. Serve immediately.

👉 This simple yet powerful Greek dish highlights the olive as a central flavor, balanced by tomato sweetness and feta’s tang.
