CRETAN DAKOS - TOMATO, CHEESE RUSK SALAD



Cretan Dakos - Tomato, Cheese Rusk Salad image

This of my favorites lunches during summer. A truly Cretan salad with very simple ingredients but full of flavour. Its in every menu during summer and a big hit every time I serve it. Very healthy, a great example of the famous Cretan cuisine. Most of the times simple things are the best! You can also add capers, pickles, olive paste, fresh bell peppers, roasted red pepper!

  • Pass the rusk under running water (very quickly) and place on a plate. (Skip this step if you using bread). Cretan rusks are very hard but you do not want to soften them too much, you do not want a soggy dakos. It should still be crunchy but easily breakable.
  • Add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it absorb. (Please note that here in Greece we often add much more olive oil, but this amount works fine).
