I’ve been busy all summer writing my book and my 15 year old son, John, has been doing the cooking for the whole family! One thing I did throw together occasionally was a delicious, crispy, flavorful greek salad. It keeps in the fridge for about a week and it’s good with anything – grilled meats, pasta…even over toast with eggs for breakfast! Here’s my quick and easy recipe:
Greek Salad
This salad is known and loved around the word for good reason. It's delicious, easy to throw together and always seems to hit the spot!
Ingredients
- 2 small red onions sliced thinly
- 1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar any vinegar will do in a pinch
- 1 English cucumbers peeled and sliced
- 8-10 vine-ripened small tomatoes quartered
- 1 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
- 1 block feta cheese the equivalent of about 1 cup, cubed
- pinch oregano optional
- 1/4 cup olive oil extra virgin
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed and finely minced
- a few pinches of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Submerge the red onions in a bowl of white balsamic vinegar. Let sit for about twenty minutes.
- Combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, garlic, olives and diced feta cheese in a large salad bowl. Toss with salad spoons.
- Add the salt, pepper, olive oil and oregano and toss again.
- Strain the red onions out of the vinegar. Top the salad with the onions. You can discard the vinegar or save for another purpose (it would be great to make a vinaigrette dressing out of).
- Store covered in the fridge until it's time to serve. You can keep this in the fridge for about a week.
