Holidays in Skopelos are a unique tasting journey especially when it comes to salads.

Star your tasting voyage with Kritama salad if you want to experience a super extraordinary and unique taste full of greens! Kritama is a wild herb that gives a unique aroma when added to other green vegetables.

It is often used in Greek traditional salads such as choriatiki, instead of capers. In recent years though, their popularity has risen thus, Skopelos visitors wish to enjoy it by itself just with the addition of other greens. It is an excellent choice for meze and is preferable accompanied with Greek ouzo.

Take a glimpse here on how we make our Kritama salad. Your holidays in Skopelos just offered you a new healthy addiction!

• First we clean and cut the kritama leaves.
• Then we boil it in salty water for less than 5 minutes.
• Finally we rinse the water and place the vegetables on a plate.
• On top we add extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.

Kritama salad is a delicious alternative to your usual greens. Its distinctive taste presents you with the fine aroma of nature while increasing your vitamin intake. Usually it is enjoyed as a side dish with meat or fish as the main course. If you want to taste it “local style” order Kritama salad with a few other meze dishes and some ouzo or tsipouro for drink. It is definitely worth a try, thus do not hesitate to order Kritama salad if you see it on the menu. It will be another delicious experience that you get to enjoy thanks to your holidays in Skopelos.
