Greek Tomato Feta Salad

This month, we took a trip to Greece for Food of the World.  If you have a Greek recipe, please join us and link up here.

Wikipedia gives a short description. "Greek cuisine is a Mediterranean cuisine. Contemporary Greek cookery makes wide use of olive oil, vegetables and herbs, grains and bread, wine, fish, and various meats, including lamb, poultry, rabbit and pork. Also important are olives, cheese, eggplant (aubergine), zucchini (courgette), and yogurt.

Sounds pretty good to me. My first dish is this salad which is admirable in my humble opinion. You could add cucumber, zucchini and black olives but I was looking for a simple salad and I wanted to use some of my tomatoes.

 Greek Tomato Feta Salad

 1 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 medium onion, chopped (red is preferable)
1/8 cup garlic rice vinegar
 1/2 tablespoon  olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon basil,  chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 - 1/3 cup   feta cheese

Method:

Cut the tomatoes in half and place them in a bowl.
Add onion, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, basil, and parsley. Toss well.

Chop the feta in 1/2 inch cubes.

Fold it into the salad. 

Eat and enjoy.  This is a refreshing summer dish.

These are the hosts of this exciting event who is presently on their way to India.   I bet you have recipes from this are that are yummy.  Please visit them and say hello.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine.

For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
