Souvlaki Dressing Recipe

When it comes to fast food in Greece, souvlaki is quite popular, as it is made up of small tasty pieces of meat that are often grilled on a skewer with vegetables. Sometimes, people will eat this dish on a skewer, while others enjoy a pita sandwich dressed with sauces and other accompaniments. When served for dinner, souvlaki is often paired with French fries or pilaf.

Traditional meat eaten in Greece and Cyprus is pork, but an increasing amount of people has embraced chicken over the years. Depending on where you visit to enjoy the dish, you may even encounter souvlaki that is made with lamb, veal, and even fish (like swordfish).
