Dad’s Greek Salad
I’m on vacation this week, so let’s go forward a few recipes from the archives, which were recently updated. This beautiful Greek Salad is one of them, originally posted in 2005. Beautiful isn’t it? And ideal for hot weather. ~ Elise
This Greek Salad is a favourite of my father’s during the summer period. Usually we have a lot of tomatoes and cucumbers, growing in the garden and everything you need to do is throw some red onions, olives, peppers, feta cheese, a few herbs and olive oil and vinegar and sweet, cooling, fresh Greek Salad.
A Tip from MOM: If you want some of the bite from the onion, then what you have in them, is to soak your in a little vinegar or lemon juice.
