Скачать или смотреть Greek Chicken Gyro | my way

It pretty cold outside, it's still winter here. I miss the summer vibe, I miss my trip to Greece so I think this recipe will take me to the sunny beach of Zakinthos island.

This recipe has so much variety. You can mix in so many veggies, depends on your taste.

I like it more simple, enjoying all the flavors. Today I went a little bit different and I Used baby spinach as a salad with cherry tomatoes (a more intense flavor ).

So before dig in into the recipe, I want to thank you all for being here.
