GREEK TOMATO SALAD

This is a common and colorful side dish for our summer cookouts. It's such a hit that I get complaints if I don't make it. Even the youngsters love this mix of fresh vegetable and light dressing! Regular black olives can be substituted for the Greek olives if you don't care for their flavor.

GREEK TOMATO SALAD

Greek Tomato Salad image

The Greek approach to a good tomato salad, whether it has cucumbers and lettuce or not (this one doesn't), is all about keeping it simple. Sweet, ripe summer tomatoes, salt and olive oil are all you need. The flourishes here - green pepper, red onion, chopped mint and pinch of oregano - are optional, but they add brightness. Good Greek feta cheese takes it over the top.
