"HORIATIKI SALATA" GREEK VILLAGE SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Wash and dry the tomatoes, cucumber, and green pepper. Clean off the outer skin from the onion, wash, and dry. Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized irregularly shaped chunks, removing the core. Note1 Many cooks peel the tomatoes if the skins are tough; it's a personal call. Note2 I would taste the feta cheese before adding salt to the salad as feta cheese is usually a salty cheese.
• 2. Slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch slices, cutting slices in half (whether or not you peel the cucumber is a personal choice). Salt lightly. Slice the pepper into rings, removing the stem and seeds. Slice the onion into thin rings.
• 3. Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper and onion in a large salad bowl. Sprinkle with oregano, pour olive oil over the salad, and toss. Just before serving, place the feta on top of the salad , either as a slice (as in photo) or crumbled , and toss in some olives.
• 4. Sprinkle the cheese with oregano (and pepper if desired). Drizzle the oil over the top, and serve. Additional ingredients: Capers: toss in a few if you like them.

MY GREEK VILLAGE SALAD

Steps:

• Briefly wet rusks by holding them under running water or quickly dipping in a bowl of water. Crumble and place in salad bowl. Drizzle with half of the olive oil and season with very little salt. Don't forget you'll be adding Feta cheese later.
• Finely chop or dice tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers & onions. Place in salad bowl on top of rusk. Add the Feta cheese, Kalamata olives & capers. Sprinkle with oregano & freshly ground pepper and drizzle with the rest of the olive oil.
• Sometimes I don't have rusks but always have pita bread in my freezer. So if you can't find barley or wheat rusks. Grill a couple of pita breads, coarsely crumble and add to the salad bowl before the tomatoes to catch all the salad liquid. It might not be the traditional Cretan salad but it's pretty close and still Greek:) KALI OREXI /ENJOY!!!
