It makes for a surprisingly light dish that is creamy, refreshing, and filling. Greek cuisine is a Medditeranean-inspired cuisine based around olive oil, seafood, rabbit, lamb, nuts, honey, and yogurt. Though they use other ingredients as well, the use of the ones mentioned above differentiate this cuisine from others.
