A plate of Greek nachos for Pinterest

Like nachos? Fan of Greek salad? Why not combine the two and make Greek nachos? Delicious!

Greek nachos

A simple but impressive party food idea!

This is one of those ideas that I’ve had in my head for a while, but wasn’t sure would ever see the light of day. For one thing, I wondered if it was just too simple. Laughably easy – an idea rather than a recipe.

Secondly, Mr. Scrummy scoffed a bit when I ran the idea past him. Nothing too new there, and to be honest I usually just ignore him, poor thing, but this time I did wonder if he was right. ‘Aren’t nachos supposed to be cooked, with melted cheese?’ he asked.

Well, I suppose strictly speaking they are, but the more I thought the idea of Greek nachos through, the more I thought they’d be a bit like the idea of summer soup. Or, more obviously, a chopped salad with tortilla chips instead of, say, croutons.

And, let me say (gloat gloat), Mr. Scrummy had to eat his words (along with a huge plate of these Greek nachos), because they really did work.

Greek nachos

Ingredients in Greek nachos

After all, you really can’t go wrong with those classic Greek flavours: tomatoes, green peppers, cucumber, olives, onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Because you chop all those lovely salad veggies up so small, the whole effect sort of reminds me of a delicious Greek-style salsa.

Except you don’t even have to go to the effort of dipping, because the ‘salsa’ is already all perfectly placed on top of the chips!

Tips for making the perfect Greek nachos

I find that it’s best to have a really good ratio of toppings to nachos here, so keep the layer of nachos on your platter shallow.

It will look like there are piles of topping, but relax – it’s perfect! And even more perfect with Greek yoghurt drizzled over the top (don’t miss that part out!).

Pro tip: Just as with any nachos, remember to eat these Greek nachos straight away so they don’t get soggy.

    I just don’t think there is anyone who would say no to this plate of nachos! It is absolute heaven on a plate! It’s got these gorgeous Greek flavors and the Greek yogurt drizzled on top looks like the melty cheese on nachos! This is also so super healthy and like you said, perfect for parties! But I think I’m too shameless to admit that I’ll be eating the whole thing myself while watching season marathons on Netflix hahaha!!!

      You’re right about the yoghurt, Samina – it looks like melty cheese! At least if you eat the whole lot the salad part’s healthy! Enjoy Netflix!

    Helen, some of the best recipes started with an idea – glad you weren’t deterred by My Scrummy’s scoffing and went ahead and made these Greek Nachos – which btw, are such a brilliant idea! I adore nachos, but never had them like this – loving that Greek yogurt drizzle too!

    What a perfect summer appetizer. Your ratio of toppings to chips looks perfect. Like Mr. Scrummy, I hadn’t considered nachos without melted cheese, but why the heck not!? Really fun party fare too…

      Well, feta doesn’t melt all that well anyway… I can imagine you enjoying these outside with one of your amazing cocktails this summer, Marissa!

    You had me at nachos and these is a great idea. I do like a good serving of lots of melted cheese nachos but this Greek version with all the fresh flavors sound very appealing to me. I must give this a try.

    This is such a fantastic idea! And I suppose the fact that Mr. Scrummy had to eat his words AND a plate of these nachos wasn’t such a bad thing 😉 I know I could certainly use a big ol’ plate of these – I’m all about those Greek flavors!
