We've been on a Greek-style flavors kick recently, and why not? Greek food is amazing, delicious, and those guys invented democracy, too. (And we do mean guys there, sorry.) Forget history, look at this meal: flaky salmon topped with creamy cucumber tzatziki, a fresh salad on the side with salty good feta. Inventing democracy, philosophy and this meal… pretty good record for Greece there.
