I think it’s great that in Greek culture a common saying is “Να ζήσεις,” which means “may you live well.” I completely agree.
How is that Greeks look so at ease and happy all day long? (Oh, and that tan, olive colored skin!) They live to eat and socialize while doing it. They also appreciate quality seasonal ingredients such as fragrant herbs like parsley, oregano, and dill.
Grilled Greek Pizza is a no fuss recipe and it is packed with vegetables and Mediterranean flavor. I cheated and used a bottle Tzatziki sauce, made with creamy greek yogurt, in an effort to save time. Honestly, it was still delicious. We grilled our pizzas in our newly purchased Traeger giving them a slightly smoked flavor.
Turn on the patio cafe lights and create your own ambience while enjoying a slice with a fresh squeeze of lemon (or drizzle olive oil) on each slice. Now, where’s the ouzo? “Stin iyia mas!” (Greek for “to your health.”)
