Greek Salad

Greek salad is so refreshing and I love the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes and the saltiness of the olives and feta cheese.  I use Persian cucumbers which are smaller and more dense than an English cucumber and have less seeds.  Use fresh oregano for  optimal flavor, but dried oregano works in a pinch.  I like to use kalamata olives but didn’t have any on hand so I used supermarket olives from a can which I don’t think have the flavor that kalamata olives have.  It’s a great year round salad because you can usually find good cherry tomatoes year round, and in the summer you can use fresh heirloom tomatoes.  If you have the time, it is best to make this salad a few hours before you serve it so it has time for all the flavors to meld together.  Click here for the recipe….
