In Greek cooking, many dishes, breads, salads, dressings, and sauces are flavored with a variety of herbs, greens, and spices unique to this country’s combination of tastes. Some of the most common are oregano, mint, dill, basil, cinnamon, cumin, and coriander. Many of the flavors combine well with olive oil and other particular items that have traditionally been a part of Greek cooking for hundreds of years. There can be a lot of citrus flavors.
