Method

Salad Preparation

Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the red onion thinly.

Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.

Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Dress the Salad

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Gyros Meat Preparation

Prepare the Meat Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine ground lamb or beef with minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Cook the Meat

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Form the meat mixture into small patties or strips and cook in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and browned.

Warm the Pita

While the meat is cooking, warm the pita bread in a separate skillet or in the oven until soft and pliable.

Assemble the Platter

On a large platter, serve the cooked gyros meat alongside the Greek salad. Optionally, serve with extra pita bread for wrapping.
