Xoritiki Salata Greek Village Salad
Monday, April 21, 2014
I know the name of the todays post will be definitely a tongue twister, even i took enough time to spell it. Actually when i chosed International cuisine for this weeks theme of long marathon am running during this whole month, i want to make a chinese dish which starts with X as i need to post todays recipe starts with this letter coz we are running different themes during four weeks in alphabetic order.But most of the dishes i crossed while googling goes either for large quantity of eggs or either beef or pork. Since i dont eat either beef or pork and dont want to make a cake which goes for almost 6egg yolks, i took enough time to search to get a super simple dish and finally i got this incredible Greek salad which goes for simple vegetables and simple dressing.
This quick,colourful and very reshing Greek salad just need easy ingredients to make, and this is a pect summer time salad.Some lettuce,tomatoes,cucumber,kalamatta olives,feta cheese and red onions makes this colourful salad which is served with an easy breezy garlic flavoured olive oil-vinegar dressing.I carried this salad for our summer time weekend picnic happened before a month and enjoyed thoroughly with some grilled meats. Doesnt matter whether the weather is hot or not, you can still make this healthy,quick and colourful salad whenever we feel lazy to cook or if you want to have a quick salad.
2nos Tomatoes (sliced thinly)
1cup Cucumber (sliced thinly)
1no Red onion (sliced thinly)
Few Kalamata black olives
100grs Feta cheese (crumbled)
Few Lettuce leaves
1/4cup Olive oil
2tbsp Vinegar
3nos Garlic cloves (crushed nicely)
1/2tsp Dried oregano
Take lettuce leaves, sliced tomatos,sliced cucumbers, kalamatta olives in a bowl.
Make the dressing with olive oil,vinegar,garlic cloves and dried oregano..mix well and keep aside.
While serving, drizzle enough dressing top it with crumbled feta cheese.
Serve immediately.

Sunday, February 16, 2014
Sweet readers! Todays post is a bit abbreviated for the vacation, but I didn’t want to skip this recipe. It’s a really good one, with absolutely no cooking involved, and it only gets better after a day or two in the fridge. Add a little feta cheese on top for pure Greek pita enjoyment.
Happy 4th! (Er ... or 5th.)
