We went camping with 7 other couples one weekend, and each of us brought a dish to pass to go with the grilled meat. One of my friends brought this delightfully light, tasty and refreshing salad. It's a great side-dish to help use up the last of the season's fresh, home-grown tomato crop. The salad bowl was emptied quickly with most of us wishing for more!! Ingredients:
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt |
4 large fresh tomatoes, cored and wedged |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 garlic clove, finely minced |
3 scallions, finely minced |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried) |
pepper, to taste |
3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled |
Directions:
1. Set yogurt in a fine strainer to drain for 30 minutes. Discard liquid.
2. Meanwhile, toss tomatoes with salt in a bowl, set aside 15 to 20 minutes until liquid accumulates.
3. Whisk all other ingredients, except feta cheese, together. Pour over tomatoes and juice and toss. Let stand 5 minutes.
4. Place feta on top of tomatoes and serve.
