Fasolakia: A Taste of Greek Summer

Summer is the perfect season to enjoy Fasolakia, one of Greece's most beloved traditional dishes. Made with fresh green beans, tomatoes, onions, and olive oil, this simple recipe is a wonderful example of Mediterranean home cooking at its best.

Fasolakia is one of those timeless recipes that proves you don't need complicated ingredients to create a delicious and satisfying meal. Serve it with feta cheese and crusty bread for a true taste of a Greek summer table.

This recipe is featured in my cookbook Vivian Is Cooking: Greek, where you'll find many authentic Greek family favorites, from meze and main dishes to traditional desserts.

I'm also excited to share that my second cookbook, Vivian Is Baking, is coming soon! It will include a collection of my favorite cakes and desserts, from Greek classics to popular international treats.

If you've never tried Fasolakia before, now is the perfect time while green beans are in season. I hope you enjoy this simple, healthy, and flavorful Greek classic.

Happy cooking!

Vivian
