Greek Salad Egg Rolls: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Dish
Greek Salad Egg Rolls are a mouth-watering fusion of two classic dishes. These crispy, golden-brown egg rolls are filled with a delicious blend of fresh vegetables, feta cheese, and olives, all seasoned with traditional Greek herbs and spices. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or as an appetizer for your next party.
Ingredients (per serving):
- 2 egg roll wrappers
- 1/4 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped tomato
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped Kalamata olives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to chop all the vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove any excess liquid from the filling before placing it in the egg roll wrappers.
- Be careful not to overfill the egg rolls, as this can cause them to burst during frying.
Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, tomato, red onion, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
3. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper up tightly, sealing the edges with a bit of water.
4. Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrapper and filling.
5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the egg rolls and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Remove the egg rolls from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Serve the Greek Salad Egg Rolls hot, garnished with additional parsley and a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping.
