At a sprawling exhibit in Red Square in Moscow you will find something quite unusual and unexpected – the world’s biggest Greek salad!
The world-famous Greek salad uses tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, peppers, olives and feta cheese topped with oregano and olive oil. The Greek salad created in Moscow used a great quantity of those ingredients as it weighed in at a total of 20 tons and 10 kilograms, breaking the Guinness World Record.
An initiative of Mouzenidis Travel and its carrier Ellinair, the huge salad included seven tons of tomatoes, seven tons of cucumber, two tones of Greek olives, 2.5 tons of feta cheese, half a ton of extra virgin Greek olive oil, one ton of onion, 80 kilos of salt and 50 kilos of oregano.
