Greek Salad

Greek Salad

I love this Greek Salad…it’s simple as can be and the flavors are bright and fresh.  The herbs (mint, parsley, chives, and cilantro) pop this salad.  And, if you want to wow people, form a cucumber slice into a circle and dish the salad into the middle of the round.  Hello…

There isn’t a lot to say about it except MAKE IT!!

In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, diced cucumber, peppers, olives, feta and fresh herbs. In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and sumac, if using.  Whisk in oil. Add to tomato mixture and combine gently.

With a mandolin or cheese slicer, carefully cut wide strips down the length of the whole cucumbers. When you reach the seeds, cut strips from the other side. You will need one to two strips per serving, depending on the size of the portion.

Shape the cucumber into a ring, overlapping the ends and place on individual serving plates. Fill cucumber rings with salad. Serve and enjoy!
