Frappe foam 😍 coffee is crucial for me today. How was everyone’s weekend? There’s nothing more refreshing than the Greek village salad: crisp cucumbers, tasty tomatoes, colorful peppers, chopped onions, and Kalamata olives, all drizzled with olive oil, then topped with oregano and feta cheese. 🥒🥗🍅 With the same ingredients (and any add-ons you desire), you can make that same salad a little more filling by adding orzo (manestra) to the mix. The Greek orzo salad becomes a memorable and flavorful meal. Perfect to take to a party as a side dish! Get the recipe at elenisaltas.com 😋 (direct link in bio). Enjoy & Happy Saturday! Chicken & potatoes: my go to dinner (with onions & lots of lemon😋). What’s yours?? 👇🏼 Say Maroulosalata 10x fast.. I’ll wait. 🤣 This salad is comprised of Marouli (lettuce), green onions, and dill. Add cucumbers for more greens and extra filling. 🥗🥒😋 Get the recipe on my blog (it’s been on there but I didn’t have any pictures). Enjoy! Χρόνια πολλά σε όλους! Xronia Polla to all who celebrate today, including my brother @petesaltas. Today is the feast day of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. Many have fasted for two weeks leading up to this day, and even more will celebrate by attending church and panagiri (festivals of food and dancing). 🙏🏼💙😋 when you need comfort food, make spaghetti. 🍝 Monday mood: donut kill my vibe🍩👊🏼 These dunford chocolate cake donuts are the best you’ll find in Utah, so good I took (a large) bite before I remembered to take a picture. 😋 Finally put together & posted my thoughts on my blog all about the Monastery of St. John the Baptist, the first Greek Orthodox Church I ever visited. 💙 I visited this monastery with my family in 2003, when i was a 12 year old with her mind preoccupied with thoughts of home, concerned about what I would wear for my first day of junior high school upon my trip to Greece. It was at St. John’s where I learned to live in the present. 🙏🏼 This monastery was founded in 1960 by a nun who was first drawn to the site over two decades prior. This nun would spend her Sunday’s walking great distances from her home and back each week to pray at local churches in the Megara region. ⛰ Throughout our stay, my family was treated to over the top hospitality that cause my memories to never be forgotten. And the biggest reason is because that head nun, Makrini, is my Papou Saltas’ first cousin. She is a gentle sprite of a woman, who sees everything and from whom oozes sincerity and peace. My Papou never was able to visit Greece so they never met, but she treated us like our families had known each other for a lifetime and she has done so on every visit since. 💕 For the full read on this monastery, please check out my blog (direct link in my bio). Happy Sunday! NEW BLOG + RECIPE: psari plaki (baked fish with vegetables and olive oil) 😋 makes for an easy dinner, plus tasted good even as leftovers. Get the recipe on EleniSaltas.com (recipe link in my bio).

Here’s a very poor quality video of me making dolmades last year at a cooking class in Chania, Crete. It’s also the first and last time I was on a live Facebook video (on my uncles FB). I think my Yiayia was the only one watching 😂💙 Anyway, I just wanted to share this because so many of my friends have done this class this summer & I’m going to highlight some of their photos here and there! If you’re ever in Chania, I suggest this class (email info@balos-travel.com for an inquiry), and if not I would totally recommend taking a cooking class wherever you are and no matter your cooking skill level! It’s such a memorable experience. Happy Friday everyone! 😘 Ps @foodnetwork, if you’re looking for a new tv star that’s monotone, I’m your girl! 🎥🙋🏽‍♀️ Preview of last nights dinner: psari plaki (baked fish). recipe coming soon! 🐟
