GREEK TOMATO SALAD



Greek Tomato Salad image

The Greek approach to a good tomato salad, whether it has cucumbers and lettuce or not (this one doesn't), is all about keeping it simple. Sweet, ripe summer tomatoes, salt and olive oil are all you need. The flourishes here - green pepper, red onion, chopped mint and pinch of oregano - are optional, but they add brightness. Good Greek feta cheese takes it over the top.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are bright red and have no blemishes.
  • Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. Roast them until they are slightly caramelized and have a rich, roasted flavor.
  • Use fresh spinach for the salad. Baby spinach is a good choice because it is tender and has a mild flavor.
  • Feta cheese adds a salty, tangy flavor to the salad. Use a good quality feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk.
  • Red onion adds a bit of sharpness and crunch to the salad. If you don't like red onion, you can substitute another type of onion, such as a yellow or white onion.
  • Use a good quality olive oil for the dressing. Extra virgin olive oil is a good choice because it has a rich, fruity flavor.
  • Season the dressing to taste. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.

Conclusion:

This Greek roasted tomato and spinach salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The roasted tomatoes are bursting with flavor, the spinach is fresh and crisp, and the feta cheese adds a salty, tangy touch.
