"Self dressed" Greek salad
This is a salad I put together for lunch today. Those of you in temperate
climates will have to wait for summer to make it, because if you don't have really flavorful fresh tomatoes, it's not worth the bother. I can get decent fresh tomatoes pretty much year-round here in Hawaii. 1 handfull fresh baby spinach 1 ripe tomato feta cheese pitted calamata olives your favorite extra-virgin olive oil kosher salt black pepper Stack the spinach leaves together, and chiffonade. Put the spinach shreds on your salad plate, and sprinkle with kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Core and slice tomato about 1/4" thick, then cut the slices into quarters. Season with kosher salt and black pepper, then add a drop of olive oil on each piece of tomato. The acid in the tomato, and the olive oil are all the "dressing" this salad needs. (Truffle oil would be even better!) Arrange the tomato pieces on top of the spinach. Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and a few of the calamata olives, and enjoy! This is food that can make both the gourmet and the nutritionist smile. --Rich |
