Greek Salad
Here is an English version

Greek Salad is more commonly known in Greece as a village, country or rustic salad (χωριάτικη σαλάτα).

It is basically a combination of tomatoes, cucumber, onions, green pepper, olives and feta cheese with olive oil and oregano.

It tends to be the staple diet for Mrs. S when we go to Greece, as she is a vegetarian, so souvlaki or meat balls don't go down too well. Back home, Mrs. S frequently rustles one up, even when we are not pretending we are in Greece.

So...

Here you can find out how Mrs. S does it.

first...

The ingredients

• Tomatoes - Big misshapen ones are the best but they are tricky to get here in England, so any tasty ones will do

• 1 Cucumber

• 1 Onion - Preferably a reddish sort of one

• 1 Green Pepper

• Black Olives - as many as you like really

• 1 pack feta cheese

• 6 tablespoons Olive Oil

• Dried Oregano

then...

What to Do

• Wash and/or wipe the vegetables.

Cheerful Turtle Bowl - Before...

• Roughly chop the onion into chunks, could be circles or slices and place in the salad bowl.

• Chop cucumber, again into chunks. Add to bowl.

• Chop pepper into chunky strips and then divide into thirds. Add to bowl.

• Chop (or not if they are little ones) the tomato. Add to bowl.

• Add a few (or many) black olives. Add to bowl.

• Cut feta into cubes. Add to bowl.

• Squish in some oregano leaves.

• Pour on olive oil.

... and After

• Stir the salad around so a good mix of things come to the top.

• Add seasoning or more onion or whatever as you wish.

• Serve and eat.
