Just got back from a trip to Greece! I thought I knew what Greek salad was until I ordered one and got this concoction devoid of lettuce... haha. But it turned out to be my absolute favorite dish there and I ordered it many times. The key is to have the very freshest ingredients, including the feta. This makes a main dish for one person, or a side dish to share between 2 or 3. Easily fits into many special diets. Ingredients:
1 medium tomato, halved and thickly sliced (add another if serving more than one person) |
1 cucumber, sliced to 1/4 inch (peeling is optional) |
1 green bell pepper, cored and seeded, sliced into rings |
1 -2 slice red onion, separated into rings |
5 -10 kalamata olives |
1/4 lb greek feta cheese, sliced thickly |
dried greek oregano (rigani) |
top quality extra virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Arrange all vegetables, prepared as listed, on a serving platter.
2. Top with Greek feta slices.
3. Sprinkle liberally with Greek oregano.
4. Serve EVOO on the side for those who enjoy a drizzle of it.
5. Eat and enjoy!
