A most excellent Greek salad!
This salad includes a green pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, red onion, feta, and some optional ingredients - capers, etc. Although I do not care for green peppers, in this particular salad they were perfect. As this is not the season for tomato excellence, I used fewer than called for in the recipe. My family all loved it and said they would eat it every day if they could.
The instructions suggest addition of a much larger amount of olive oil than I would usually use (1/3C), but I stuck to the recipe. A good tossing in a large bowl meant that everything was well covered, but it didn't seem oily at all. After the oil, one adds some lemon juice and oregano.
This is a strong recommend, and its also the time to break out that really excellent olive oil that you might reserve for special occasions.
