Mark Bittman inspired me to make a delicious salad. His article in the nytimes is fabulous. We have been trying more and more to eliminate processed foods. The salad article is a great way to make new things with fruit, veggies and even fish. I have book club tonight, and we are having it on the beach, so I thought a fresh salad would be great.recipe
1 cucumber
2 tomatoes
small onion
1 clove garlic
1/2 lemon-for the juice
1/4 cup kalamata olives
olive oil
feta cheese
salt and pepper
This is very simple, chop everything up and mix it well. One thing I learned from Mark Bittman, when making a salad dressing you just need a fat and a acid and a flavor. For this I used olive oil, lemon and garlic.
I enjoyed taking pictures of the delicious ingredients as much as I did making the salad.
Looks like a great after farmer's market dish. I'll try it sometime soon!
ReplyDeletei've been eating a salad really similar to this - minus the olives - all summer long. it's really versatile and i love adding chicken a pasta for a more hearty dish. i'll be so sad when the summer is over and the veggies leave again!
