You guys,
Greek food is so good, I love it.
I mean really, the Greeks know how to eat.
Fresh tomatoes, salty olives, pita bread, artichokes, greek yogurt.
Feta!
Yeah, I think feta is my very favorite.
The only food that is used in a lot of greek cooking that I do not like is red onions. Which is why you rarely see them in any of my recipes. I don’t hate them, I just prefer not to use them. Especially raw, but trust me I would not, not eat say… guacamole just because it had red onions in it.
They’re just not my favorite.
Well, my time here in Oregon is already coming to end.
I am finally headed home on Thursday and could not be more excited. I miss the Colorado mountains, my kitchen and the luxury of having a grocery store five minutes away.
Oh yeah, I think I am most excited about that last part. Having a grocery store forty-five plus minutes away is not fun. It’s even way worse when you just walk in the door from driving the forty-five minutes there and forty-five minutes back and then realize you forgot the artichokes, blue cheese and bacon.
All essentials, obviously.
This happened every single time. Seriously, every single trip. Ugh.
Really, wasn’t it  just yesterday I was complaining to you guys about coming here. Time is flying.
FLYING!
How is it already August and how is it that school is starting in less than three weeks for my siblings?! Can we please just hit the slow mo button now – please!
Pretty please with a cherry on top?
Anyway, these gyros happened for one reason.
I was up to my ears in fresh, gorgeous salmon. Oregon is apparently booming with the prettiest wild caught pink salmon I have ever seen. It was too pretty not to buy.
So I made some greek salmon gyros.
Some really good, really easy gyros that are the perfect fresh summertime dinner. Tons of fresh herbs, lemon, tomatoes, olives, peppers and a rather heavy amount of feta cheese.
Oh and the pitas? You have to make them yourself. There is nothing better than this pita recipe. Nothing. It is SO good.
This whole meal is so good.
And the leftovers make a pretty darn good salad. Oh, and if you do the salad? Make sure you add some pita chips. Chips and salad work. Really well!

Is it dinner time yet?!?
Greek food is the best. I adore tzaziki and combined with SALMON and pita?! Yes, bacon is eseential, but feta is up there, too!
Thanks so much, Mary!
This recipe looks too good to be true. Thank you SO much. I really needed something like this this week!!
Thank you, Todd!
I am absolutely obsessed with Greek meals in the summer, but strangely they don’t make it onto my blog enough. Must be because I devour them before I can get a good photo, haha! These gyros look mouthwatering, Tieghan! Amazing photos, too.
Thank you so much, Georgia! I totally understanding not having time to get a good photo because all you want to do is eat! Luckily I took these photos in the morning, so it was a little easier not to scarf them right then and there. LOL!
This dish looks ridiculous. Like…I want this right now. RIGHT now. I love greek food and love salmon and feta and tazatziki sauce! Best combo. I’m totally making this tonite for dinner. How hard are those pitas to make? Cause I suck at baking soooo…
Have you ever tried pickled red onions? They’re the bomb!
Oh man, you have to try the pitas! I promise they are so easy and I have had great feedback on them!! As for the pickled onions, nope I have not tried those! Thinking I need to though!
Thanks Maria, hope you love these!
I am in LOVE!!! Greek is da’bomb!!!
Thanks Lauren!

Thank you so much, Robyn!
I love how your food always looks so fresh and healthy and utterly scrumptious!
Thank you so much!!
This stuff looks amazing, I’m in love with Greek food, it couldn’t be better: gyros, tzatziki, hummus, greek yogurt, spanakopita, feta, olives… everything’s fantastic, I wish I lived there ;–)
Also I have a major obssesion with feta cheese… I’d put that stuff in like everything, it’s so darn good.
I love love love this recipe, thanks for posting! x
Oh, I wish I lived there too!
Thank you!
Greek food really is the best! And holy cow, these gyros look dangerously good!
Thank you so much, Ashley!

The Greeks really do know how to eat! I absolutely love Mediterranean food and those gyros look simply amazing. The fresh salmon and tzatziki sauce are perfect together. Yum!
They really do! Thanks Chelsea!
