Kathara Deftera, or Clean Monday, is an important day for Greeks.
We celebrate the end of the Carnival and the beginning of fasting which leads to Easter (forty days later).
In 2026, Καθαρά Δευτέρα will be on February 23rd.
Greek Fish Roe Salad – taramosalata, is a Greek appetizer/dip made from tarama; the salted roe (fish eggs) of cod or grey mullet mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, and a base of bread or potatoes.
