#SensationalSalad Kicks Off at @AmmosNewYork #AmmosEstiatorio Since 2009 by #DimitrisNakos Godfather of the Mediterranean Diet and Athens Native by #PeachyDeegan @ManhattanPeachy

Salata a la Dimitri
"In Greece, you cannot eat dinner without salad presented on the table: it's an essential element to the balance and goodness of a successful meal.  Salads in Greece are always included whether you are dining out or making dinner at home.  We are excited to introduce you to our three stellar salad selections which you can additionally customize to be your own with our many side options!  Here we present them to you in their original recipe."
-Dimitris Nakos,
Founder and Owner of Ammos Estiatorio
Whom You Know has always required a green salad as part of a meal, and as we enter the spring we endeavored to concentrate on this important component of a meal!  The very best Peachy's Picks only will be showcased in all of their produce glory, and we're starting at the top with Ammos!  Ammos actually has a salad named after the owner!  Actions speak louder than words readers....

And why are the Ammos Salads the greatest?
You can customize them to your little heart's desire!
Here are your options to add to any of these:

Chicken Breast
Tiger Shrimp
Salmon
Grilled Octopus
Pan Seared Tuna
Grilled Kalamari

Here they are in their "original canvas" form.
"I like to cook at home and I love salads, and this is one of my creations crafted from simply using my favorite ingredients: Baby arugula and mixed greens, mixed berries, strawberries, dry Kalamata figs, Macadamia nuts, cashews, Greek honey & garlic balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Add cheese for an extra (choice of feta or gorgonzola cheese)"
-Dimitris Nakos
This brilliant combination awaits your palate and unlike restaurants that have all the usual suspects in salads, at Ammos you can meet the owner and salad namesake!  And it's honest-to-goodness innovation that he has personally created from his taste levels to brighten your culinary world.
A beacon of refreshment is the gorgeous Horiatiki!
Beefsteak tomatoes, Kalamata olives, Spring onions, cucumbers, tri-color peppers, barrel-aged feta, fresh Mount Taygetos oregano, evoo combine in perfect proportion to each other.  Ingredients don't get any fresher than this, and you know we don't edit pictures here.  It really is this strikingly brilliant in person, which makes it that much more delicious!  Every component is also well-cut in each of these salads by Executive Chef Bruno Marino!
Finally, for a lighter touch please meet the Pantzaria Carpaccio.
Thin-cut oven roasted golden and blood beets, shallot vinaigrette, pistachio yogurt sing a song that you ought to listen to: you can't BEET IT!!!
Ammos Estiatorio continues to Earn Our Highest Recommendation and is the first Peachy's Pick to be highlighted in our brand new column: Sensational Salad!!!
