Greek salad with sirtaki

A light vegetable salad with an interesting combination of cream cheese and spicy dressing has long been popular at the festive table and in the everyday diet. Easy to prepare, it is a real storehouse of vitamins. If you prepare the salad according to the traditional Greek recipe, you will spend no more than 5 minutes, since the Greeks preferred large pieces of vegetables and did not mix the salad before serving.
