COMPOSED GREEK SALAD

Donna Knowlton of Atlanta, Georgia, writes: "As the oldest of five children growing up in rural West Virginia, I was always helping in the kitchen. My husband is a doctor and works long hours, but we still like sharing a meal at the end of the day. I don't want to be in the kitchen late at night making something complicated, so I rely on dishes that can be ready in minutes." Donna brought back this version of the classic recipe from a trip to Athens.

COMPOSED GREEK SALAD

This came from an old Bon Appetit, with a beautiful picture. It is easily assembled and quite dramatic looking, especially if arranged on one of the lovely, colorful Greek platters. I frequently add canned dolmatas, if the company would allow.
