\u00a0<\/p>\n

Welcome back to Recipe Week<\/a>!<\/p>\n

On the menu tonight: \u00a0Horiatiki Salata (Greek salad)<\/p>\n

\"\"You’ll notice that this salad doesn’t involve any lettuce, capers, or other unnecessary ingredients. \u00a0A real Greek salad is so simple, but for some reason, it’s hard to find the authentic version outside of Greece. \u00a0So here I am, about to set the world straight. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Rachael Ray, are you listening?<\/p>\n

(Please forgive me for being such a snob.)

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tomatoes (any kind, shape or color will do as long as they taste good)<\/li>\n
  2. Cucumbers (I like the small, crunchy Persian kind)<\/li>\n
  3. Kalamata olives<\/li>\n
  4. Feta cheese<\/li>\n
  5. Red onion (scallions or regular onions work well too)<\/li>\n
  6. Olive oil<\/li>\n
  7. Oregano<\/li>\n
  8. Vinegar (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Method:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Chop the tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. \u00a0Mix together and stir in the olives. \u00a0Place a block of Feta on top of the salad. \u00a0Drizzle the olive oil (and vinegar if you choose) over the top. Sprinkle with oregano. \u00a0<\/p>\n

    See, that’s no so hard, right?<\/p>\n

    Here’s a side note: \u00a0In Greece, the salad is placed in the middle of the table. \u00a0Nobody has their own salad plate. \u00a0Everyone shares.<\/p>\n

    Next up — Fasoulakia (green beans and potatoes in tomato sauce)<\/p>\n
