So im still stuck in my cobb salad, greek food phase from my visit with my sis in NYC. From the delicious feta cheese that made me itchy, to the to-die-for cobb salad with bacon, avocado, tomatoes, mozzarella, baby corns, onions, olives and the wonderful fresh hot pitabread. (yum! my mouth is watering)...but basically, im stuck in a salad rut & I can't get out... (but i don't really want to either)
So, Apparently in Greece, their salads don't contain lettuce. But hey, who needs lettuce when it tastes soo good! I love salads, especially when it has lots of accessories... thats what i call all the croutons, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers and other toppings...
Either way... greek salad is all accessories... and its mighty fine with me. So i decided to make my version of the all-accessory greek salad with black olives, capers, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, lemon juice and salt... it.is. divine. ((oh && you can add plenty of feta if you so desire!))
SO here it is!
Greek Salad doesn't have lettuce.

In Greece, we don't use capers or cilantro either. There's usually a smattering of green pepper, with olive oil, vinegar and a bit of oregano for dressing. It's simple.
i love it when there's just a giant slab of feta cheese, too
no lettuce necessary--this looks great. i love that you threw in some cilantro, even if it apparently isn't a usual component. yum. :)
No lettuce. It does look good, even though it's not "traditional."
Thanks for an amazing recipe, love your blog
