Hummus isn't Greek so I have no idea why you included this in your list.

Another vote for the Trader Joe's spanakopita, it's delish. If you want less authentic but bigger quantity of it, Costco has it in the frozen appetizer section.

Spanakopita is EVERYWHERE in Greece and it's exactly the same as here

Spanakopita is in the frozen section.

What about the olives?

Can you describe the salad?

When I was in Greece, the “Greek Salad” was cherry tomatoes, black olives (not positive of the type), peppers and onions, oregano and topped with a brick of white cheese (again, not sure of type but not feta or halloumi).

Just looked up the salad I had and it does say feta cheese — but to me doesn’t taste like the feta & crumbles we have. Also said “kalamon” olives.
Ah, even the olives there were so much better than I’ve had before. And delicious pita bread.

I wish mine randomly assigned contributions. We didn't attend because we didnt' really fit their "costume, dance and country of origin" guidelines.
