Cyprus


Traditional Cypriot Salad 

-1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, diced
-2 large tomatoes, chopped
-1 head of romaine lettuce, thinly sliced
-1 bunch cilantro, stalks removed, finely chopped
-1 small red onion, sliced
-2 tsp dried oregano
-1 C. black kalamata olives
-1/2 lb. feta, crumbled by hand into large pieces

Vinaigrette:
-6 Tbs. EVOO (a little rachael ray for ya...)

-salt to taste
-black pepper to taste

1) Mix the first 6 ingredients with salad tongs. (make sure all ingredients are dry before mixing)
2) Place vinaigrette ingredients into glass container (some container where you can shake it well so it emulsifies). Pour over salad and mix well.
3) Decorate salad with onions, olives, and feta cheese before serving. (Or leave them aside so people can put what they want on the salad.
