The missus made a comment when she first moved over to Cyprus that back in the UK, salad usually meant a bit of lettuce, plus a few slices of cucumber and tomato.
When we make salads, there are a whole load of possibilities, often based on whatever we have in the fridge at that particular time.Yesterday was no exception. @shell asked if I could post the recipe, so here it is:
1 Pink Grapefruit
1 Beefsteak Tomato
Iceberg Lettuce or any Salad Greens
1 Onion
Feta (diced)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
We usually cut the veggies and Feta up into fairly uniform dice and add a glug of the Olive Oil, season with salt and pepper and then mix everything well.
Many things will go together, just dice up tomato, cucumber and onion, you could add fresh or dried herbs to make it different and avoid it becoming boring.
All of our tomatoes here are basically Beefsteak rather than the watery insipid thing you tend to get in UK supermarkets, and our cucumbers are the small ones - I heard them being called "Lebanese" cucumbers. These have a better texture and are not full of seeds like the bigger ones back in the UK
I will add more recipes to this thread as they come to me.
